Homework
Students will be given music to practice at home as well as some scales depending on level.Class Experience
In this class, the student will receive private, individualized instrument instruction from a highly-experienced teacher. In the lesson, they will complete warm-ups of various kinds, learn new pieces of music, and practice their sight reading skills. The student will learn music from their method book every week. I can work with a lesson book they are already using or I can recommend one to them. Lessons can be highly customized for your child. If your child needs help with a specific piece of music, please send me a copy or a picture of it before class. I am a very enthusiastic and supportive teacher and my goal is to focus on improving a child's overall knowledge and skillset on the saxophone. I will work to teach them saxophone performance fundamentals which are the building blocks to success on the instrument. I have a flexible schedule so let me know if there is a time that works best for your child. Intermediate saxophonists will continue their instruction through a lesson book such as Rubanks Intermediate Method Saxophone book. They will learn scales, warm ups, and repertoire on their level. We will practice reading rhythms and new notes on the staff. We will also discuss good playing techniques, proper reeds and storage, the correct embouchure and other techniques that help create a good sound on the instrument.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from University of Miami
Hello! My name is Jackie. I am very excited to teach your child! I got my Bachelors in Music Education at the University of Miami. At this time, I played the saxophone in many bands and ensembles as well. The bari sax was always my favorite! I love teaching children through songs, movement and fun! I am energetic and a kid at heart and love to use this to help motivate students of all levels. I was an elementary music teacher for six years. During this time I taught students K-5 singing, solfege, rhythm and note reading, recorder, ukulele and other music listening skills. I also worked with students teaching math and reading during their intervention time. I’ve directed several musicals after school including Beauty and the Beast Jr, Annie, Jr, and Aladdin Kids. I am now working as an online English, Saxophone and Ukulele teacher after having a baby during the pandemic. I hope to teach classes to promote students’ reading and English skills as well as math. Since music is also my passion, I will teach different music related classes depending on your child's interest including: ukulele, saxophone, recorder, rhythm and note reading, solfege, music movement/listening and some general music classes. I love traveling and exploring new places and especially love going to Disney World in my spare time. I can’t wait to teach your child and hope to get them excited about learning through Outschool! I hope to see your child in class!
