Deborah W.

16 Saxophone lessons

I believe we're on the right track. Lesson was positive in spite of student's apprehension to stay focused. The student has recently received braces. She had a test that day on her saxophone, her mouth was sore and she was tired. Colleen very patiently kept her focused on the math task. The student seemed to feel she accomplished something with the session. I'm pleased with her willingness to continue trying. Very pleased with progress.

Derrick has been a very learned and patient tutor who knows the teaching skills very well. Though my daughter is taking online lessons for Clarinet and Saxophone with him, she has learned a lot and wants to continue with him. She loved the knowledge of breathwork and the encouragement he gives to her. Thanks Derrick for all your time effort and hard work with her.
