Saxophone is one of my top subjects! I have two degrees in saxophone; classical under-grad, and master's in jazz studies. I can teach all styles of music.

I served as lead tenor saxophonist for the 56th Army Band Ft Lewis WA from 2000-2004. My musical diversity landed me in concert band, big band, jazz combo, Dixie-land band, Latin jazz combo, show band(pop/rock), among others. I received a jazz merit scholarship to play 1st tenor for UCO's top jazz band. I have been recognized for outstanding musicianship by the International Association of Jazz Educators multiple times. I have had the pleasure of performing with a Grammy Award winning Jazz Vocalist, and several other giants in the jazz business. I have tutored numerous students over the last 15 years along my military and educational pursuits.
It varies depending on the needs of the student. I am patient, but meticulous when it comes to music. I am very open about my philosophy that music is hard work, but also is a ton of fun.

I feel that in many cases, it is just as important to teach students how to learn as it is to teach what to learn; consequently, I advocate a step by step teaching method that allows the student to focus on what they do know, rather than what they do not know. As the student begins to understand each step, they become able to develop the required problem solving skills. I believe that the role of a tutor goes beyond the classroom, which is why I use a laid-back, pragmatic approach that matches my patient and easy going personality.
As a student at Oklahoma State University, I have been fortunate enough to study a vast and varied curriculum. Although I am not an official graduate of OSU, I essentially have earned all the crede ... read more
