Teaching

Kevin has been teaching and motivating aspiring saxophonists for over 12 years. His teaching method focuses on training the ears and learning the technique of the saxophone through popular songs. Kevin firmly believes that it much easier to learn a new skill if you approach it with a sense of joy and bewilderment; this is what he hopes to instill in all of his students.

Kevin’s method encourages students to record themselves weekly and submit it to him for constructive criticism. This not only ensures that students have guidance every step of the way, but allows them to hear their progress as they go through lessons.

Learning the saxophone is a life changing experience; it’s a way of life. It really lays bare an individual’s characteristics and habits. It is Kevin’s hope that learning the saxophone with him will teach students more than just notes, but be a transformative experience.
