Tim N.

6 Saxophone lessons

He has taught me not only specific Saxophone techniques but also the music theory. He focused on details and paid attention on my form, fingering, tonguing, breathing techniques…, these basic but vital steps have helped me building a strong foundation for playing Saxophone. Eric has an incredible music talent. I had a chance to see him performed live with his band and listened to his released CDs, and his music was amazing!! He is a great Saxophone player!!.
Artur M.

2 Saxophone lessons

Nick was very patient and friendly Saxophone teacher. As a beginner, Nick taught me the scales and helped me start learning a song, Perfect by Ed Sheeran, I always wanted to learn. He also showed me how to tune my saxophone and gave great advice on how to practice my breathing in order to produce wonderful sound! Highly recommend Nick for saxophone classes!
Shivani S.

11 Saxophone lessons

Logan has taught me a lot about the saxophone. I didn't think I'd be able to learn much from online lessons, but So far I learned how to play some basic notes and tunes. What I like about Logan's tutoring Is that she can adapt and go at the pace that you want. I already at the oboe and I already know how to read music. So she went straight to the things that I didn't know like how to put the saxophone together and the fingering of the notes on the saxophone.
