More About This Tutor...

I have been teaching private music lessons for over 3 years and have taught many students ages 5 through adult. I teach saxophone to the advanced level and beginning piano and clarinet. I can also tutor and teach music theory, music history, world music, and composition. My speciality is jazz and improvisation. I love teaching and playing music and will take on any student that wants to learn. I have a M.A in Music and much performance experience.
I teach lessons tailored to the individual student's needs. I use a variety of books and my own supplemental materials, and also include listening in lessons. In every lesson I focus on warm ups, technique, sight reading, and performance repertoire. I am very open to having the student bring in songs they want to learn or work on specific things they are interested in. I always try to make the lessons as fun and enjoyable as possible, as ... read more

Fun and Effective Learning for Enrichment & a Better Future!

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management with a concentration in Marketing. I am a skilled Graphic Designer by trade. In school, I loved and excelled in many areas, especially Math. I enjoy teaching and learning! I'm a life-long student and have fun acquiring knowledge. I hope this same attitude is contagious, for when you see learning as something that enriches your life, then the mind will serve you better.
I like to give practical examples and modern day analogies. I like to keep learning fun, no matter what the age. A man once told me when I was purchasing a seat for my bicycle, "You should get the most comfortable seat, because you a lot more likely to ride longer." After he gave me that advise, and I bought a comfortable seat, I rode 22 miles the first time out. I don't want somebody to be quick to stop learning, because it's not comfortable, so we do what we can to ... read more

Lauren Wasynczuk - Saxophonist, Conductor & Music Educator

At the core of my teaching philosophy lies the belief that teaching and learning go hand in hand and that effective teaching depends on successful communication between teacher and student. A music lesson is a collaborative effort. Not only does a student hopefully learn in his or her lessons, the teacher learns from the students! My teaching “techniques” are solutions – born from the need to solve a specific challenge with any particular student. In the teaching process itself, putting myself in the student’s shoes allows me to consistently find solutions that work for each individual student and grow as a music teacher. In order to generate collaboration in a lesson, I believe in creating an atmosphere that encourages participation and involvement. My goal is to motivate and challenge my students and help them to enjoy the music they play. A motivated student assumes responsibility an ... read more

Saxophone is one of my top subjects! I have been performing in restaurants and events playing the flute. I believe I am very capable of teaching someone how to play better since I have been playing for many years and do this for a living.

I play music for a living and I absolutely love music. I play the saxophone, flute, and piano very proficiently. I am patient and will teach as slow or fast as necessary. I can spot weaknesses and fix them also. Please EMAIL me at k1ngkw4n@hotmail.com. DO NOT leave messages here because i cannot read them. thanks

In terms of my teaching style, I greatly believe in positive reinforcement. I love working with all children, and find it rewarding when I’m able to help them understand and excel in a particular area or subject. I love to motivate my students, and continually stress the importance of interactive learning and practicing of methods. I also stress the importance of an alternative solution or way to approach a problem to better ingrain methodology and study techniques. I love sharing knowledge, and continually motivate my students with an enthusiastic and patient demeanor to be lifelong learners and teachers themselves as well.
