Saxophone Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Homestead, FL

My start in music began with trips from a young age to my mom's rehearsals. As a young child my first instrument of interest was the drums and noticing that I wasn't that good (sister playing better) I quickly moved on to other instruments. During my tenth grade year I joined my high school's marching band playing the trombone. I decided to continue the trombone as my primary instrument while in college at Grambling State University. There I was also able to study other instruments such as bass guitar, piano and organ. Going to college in Louisiana, which has such a musically rich environment, allowed me the opportunity to play venues such as casinos, clubs, appear in commercials and even a halftime show for super bowl 32 as well as other NFL games. My goal for teaching music is to give students the discipline to achieve all of their life's goals.

My passion is teaching, especially elementary students. But, I have tutor music students for 41 years. My school of thought is that I need to teach my students using different styles. For this reason, I feel that I can help your child to be successful in all academic affairs. My goal is to provide my students an opportunity to find the great student that is inside every child, so any child may be a great citizen in the future. I am positive that your child will engage in good habits of learning once he or she starts my classes. During my undergraduate work, I work very hard to learn how to teach effectively, so my students will benefit from my knowledge. I have an Associate in Arts, finished at Miami-Dade College; a Bachelor’s degree in Music Composition, finished at Florida International University; and, a Masters degree in Music Education, finished at Florida International University

My first major mentoring/teaching experience occurred in college when I began leading study groups and eventually organizing tutoring sessions with a number of my fellow English, Calculus, and Physics students. I then obtained a position as a youth counselor with the YMCA and quickly moved up to Site Coordinator where I was in charge of my own after school care group, including being in charge of organizing activities and managing youth counselors. Most recently I underwent PADI Divemaster training where I had real world experience teaching and assisting PADI Open Water students with classroom, confined water, and open water training. My style tends to range based on who I am trying to teach, and I suppose is most accurately labeled as adaptive. I understand that different people learn things in different ways, and so I try to accommodate that with my teaching. For inst

I believe that all children have different styles or method of learning. I will often give students a choice designing and implementing their own complex learning projects and will act in a consultative role. In many cases, I will also teach a the students with diagrams or other images associated to the particular lecture. I enjoy young students company and I do not get frustrated or irate easily. I am a very optimistic individual who can bring the best in people, whether its through education or personal. I have had some great tutors and teachers in the past and would like to thank them by helping others accomplish their educational dreams. Higher Education has always been my passion. I recently graduated college, in May 2009, with a Bachelor degree in Business Marketing. Although my degree focuses more on different aspects of business financial growth, my dedication to assist others th
