Want to learn how to play sax? Want to become a better improviser? Want to learn how to produce or mix? I can teach you how to teach yourself!
During my time at Berklee College of Music, I was fortunate to study with some of the best teachers on earth. My teacher and mentor George Garzone is one of the greatest sax players and teachers of all time. He reshaped my approach to embouchure, articulation, improvisation, time, and melody and gave me confidence that my allegiance to melody was a strength amongst my more technically driven peers. If you are interested in learning how to get the most out of your saxophone or new ways to think about approaching improvisation, I promise I can provide valuable information in these areas!
Also while I specialize in Ableton Live as my choice DAW, I have experience with most softwares and they are all equally capable of producing heat. If you are a producer and have already watched countless tutorials on youtube, consider studying with someone one on one. I can listen to your works in progress and give feedback in terms of arrangement, mixing, and overall feel. The ultimate goal is to empower you with the tools you already have at your disposal.
The greatest lesson I can give is to teach you how to teach yourself. In music, as in life, the goal is to never stop learning and growing. Learning how to learn can be very empowering for life outside of music. I talk to people after shows and they tell me they wish they could make music. This is a limiting belief. We are all artists with unique gifts to share the world if we can get out of our own way! Creativity passes through the collective consciousness all the time and only a few catch it or even notice. As Rick Rubin says, we must continue to sharpen our antennas to receive what is all around us. Music is magic.
