Assignments

1-2 hours per week. Students will be given a light practice assignment to take home and work on. Depending on the age/skill level of the student, Tim recommends students practice 10-20 minutes everyday to progress. Assignments will be unique to the student and created by Tim utilizing his own knowledge/expertise as well as various available resources.

Assessment

Tim will regularly give feedback on the student's playing. This will include both things that are going well and areas for improvement. A more in depth assessment can be available upon the request of the student/guardian.

Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12

Beginner - Advanced Level

Hi there! Join me if you're interested in getting better at the saxophone! Through weekly lessons, we'll develop a strong foundation in technique, music theory, and overall musicality. Students will learn to express themselves musically, refine their technique, and build confidence playing. Classes are structured in live one-on-one settings formats. We will spend the majority of lessons going over assigned material, reviewing challenging spots and coming up with possible solutions to address the issue. I will also give weekly assignments for the student to take home and work though on their own. I completely understand that things happen and when possible, ask for 24hrs+ notice in order to receive a full refund for cancelled lessons. Additionally, you are always more than welcome to reschedule the lesson rather than cancel.

Learning Goals

Technical proficiency: Intonation, rhythm, articulation, dexterity

Musicality: Phrasing, dynamics, expression, interpretation
