30-Minute, 45-Minute or 60-Minute Music Lessons
All saxophone lessons are taught as private, one-on-one music instruction and are available in lengths of 30, 45, and 60 minutes. We suggest kids and teenagers begin with 30-minute lessons and progress to longer lengths as your teacher recommends. For adults who have some previous experience, we recommend starting with 45- or 60-minute lessons.
SAXOPHONE Lessons for Kids and Teenagers
Due to the demands of playing the saxophone, we recommend that students be at least 8 years old before starting lessons. Beginning students are first taught how to make a good solid tone on the mouthpiece and neck. After obtaining a good sound and embouchure, students will move forward learning proper instrument assembly, hand placement, fingerings, music reading, posture, breath control, and more.
Students playing in school ensembles are encouraged to bring their music to work on during lessons.
SAXOPHONE Lessons for Adults
We welcome adults who have never played the saxophone to start music lessons. Beginning students focus on fundamentals, while intermediate and advanced students focus on improving repertoire and technique, including breath control and support, posture, tonal quality, finger dexterity, articulation, and hand position.
