What to expect in my Guitar Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

Learning fundamentals such as chord structures and scales, to chord progressions and applying music theory to better understand progressions. Learning songs, chosen by both student and instructor. As much as technicalities are important, it's also import learn songs we enjoy and want to play.


What to expect in my Orchestral Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

Starting with how to assemble the saxophone and adjusting mouth positions (embouchure), to scales, to lung and breathing development. Music will be from. a lesson book. To keep the learning fun, we'll also learn songs or works chosen by the instructor as well as the student as we develop the student's musical and technical skills.


What to expect in my Song Writing Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

We'll discuss song writing in detail, citing examples from both from the student and instructor. We'll discover the direction the student wants to go and build songwriter vocabulary to better understand how to express intent to other musicians. The student will learn not just how to structure a song and apply lyrics, but also basic music theory and active listening to better express their songwriting.
