Deborah W.

16 Saxophone lessons

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. My student has more confidence to attempt math equations.
Irene A.

99 Saxophone lessons

My daughter has been taking lessons with Ric for a couple of months now. While my daughter learned how to play saxophone while in elementary school, she found the music program at her middle school weak, and wanted private lessons so she could continue practicing and growing her skills. Ric has ignited her passion for playing saxophone; often after her lessons with him she tells me how much she enjoys playing.
