Description:

Do you enjoy the distinctive and unforgettable sound of the saxophone from classical music or jazz performances? Here's your opportunity to learn how to play this emotive instrument!

In this 1-hour, private class, you'll learn how to play the saxophone regardless of your skill level. A professional saxophonist will introduce you to the techniques required to master the saxophone and will customize the sessions to meet your desired goals.

For beginners, you'll learn how to establish a good embouchure (placement of the mouth on the mouthpiece), body posture, hand position and a basic understanding of the saxophone. You'll also learn all twelve major scales.

After mastering the major scales, a greater emphasis will be put on learning how to read music, and study material will be introduced. The instructor will also encourage students to do independent research on the history of the saxophone and the most celebrated and influential saxophonists.

Intermediate and advanced students will learn more advanced techniques and improve their existing skills such as the development of a mature saxophone sound, learning how to improvise, preparing for a solo classical performance, development of intuition for rhythm and melody, learning and memorizing jazz standards, composing music and leading an ensemble.

Review on the class: Online Class: Saxophone Lessons
"Thomas is one of the fascinating musical teachers that not only embodies what it is to be a talented musician w/ phenomenal musical mind being able to adapt & play on varying instruments; teaches you how to adopt the skillset of feeling the music w/in & allowing you to break through any barriers you might've built up for yourself & push you to become a more confident musician. His varied skillset transcends traditional lessons I've ever had & able to communicate how to learn more effectively, how to grow as a musician,see the learning process in a different way that I've not been taught before"
