Lessons by Mail

-A Personal Approach to your Musical Growth-

For quite some time now, The Saxophone Shed has proven to be a great place to find information, excercises, licks, warm-ups and advice on playing the saxophone, flute and clarinet. As we embark on our second year of operation, it has become clear that many aspiring saxophonists desire information that can not be presented on a sheet of paper or from a link on a web page. A personal approach to their musical growth is what many players and students are searching for while surfing the web.

Your search has ended. You are here!

If you would like me to personally guide you toward your musical goals on the saxophone, flute or clarinet, now this can happen from the comfort of your own home.

A comprehensive learning program consisting of a 24 part series of lessons for the beginning and intermediate saxophonist is now being offered through The Saxophone Shed at SaxShed.com

Additionally, advanced saxophonists interested in the study of Jazz, Pop and Rock Improvisation are offered the same type of comprehensive 24 part series of study.
