Hi I'm Will,
I’ve taught Saxophone and clarinet at the ‘American Conservatory of Music’ and the ‘Old Town School of Folk Music’.
I’ve taught thousands of saxophone lessons to students ranging in age from eight to eighty-from complete beginners to advanced performers.
I know just about everything there is to know about saxophone. I've been playing sax since I was 12. I've played saxophone all the way through high school orchestra, concert band, marching band, stage band. I even played sax in...

Got me playing simple songs on Day #1!
I'm starting from Day #1 when it comes to the tenor saxophone. I don't know the keys, the notes, nothing. Barely able to assemble my instrument properly. Will had me moving quickly within the first hour.

Amazing teacher super supportive!
Every minute of the lesson is filled with instruction, attention, support, and dedication to our daughter as she learns to play her saxophone. His teaching style is one that I haven’t seen in so long. Thank you so much for your support and your gift as a teacher.

Tutor
My son has been receiving services from Mr. Will for about 4 weeks now. He is very responsive with anything we need and very flexible. I feel my son has come a long way with the sax especially with no background in playing this instrument. My son takes great pride in practicing and not just in the days he has lessons. This extra confidence has led him to being selected in area band. Thank you so much for all help and assistance.

A great saxophone teacher
We have been looking for a saxophone teacher for a while. It is not easy! We learned a good sax player is not necessary a good teacher. Finally, we came cross with Will..The first lesson( online) I was unable to be present since I had to work. My son, 16 yr, had the lesson on his own. He loved it! He told me he’s impressed Will’s not only a great player but also an excellent teacher. My son has been playing piano since He was 6 yrs and he is really picky about his music teachers. He is a “questioner”. I know he could ask hundreds of questions to teachers. Some teachers think he is annoying, but they don’t understand that is a way he learns a lot. I really appreciate Will takes each his question seriously and being a good listener. We scheduled class once a week with Will and we are confident it will go well.

Inspires Motivation.
Will taught me how easy it is to understand the Sax. It was an enlightening experience. I was impressed with what I knew and how clearly Will explained how to play my particular instrument. I was able to play a variety of tunes my first lesson with his instructions. He is patient and inspires motivation.
