Method of instruction;

My motto is that everyone can learn to play the saxophone! 

I promise that by utilizing a particular way to teach the saxophone and basic piano, you will be able to play the saxophone in a short amount of time. 

Beginner's saxophone and piano lessons; 
I'm working with my pupils in a different method, which is more enjoyable than traditional instrument classes! 

Why is it fun and interesting? I can say this with total conviction since I have had a variety of musical experiences that enabled me to create a variety of personalized timetables for learners. What does it imply? So, depending on the learners' requests, I create an electro-acoustic program that is never dull. 

Weekly sessions are essential for learning to play the saxophone in a short amount of time. 
When you wish to study mainstream jazz, jazz-related modern music, or other popular genres, we may schedule your first class. 

Lessons on the saxophone for advanced students;
You can also take lessons with me while studying for admission exams to music schools and conservatories.
