Brian has been teaching my daughter for 4 months now. She started with very basic knowledge of the instrument she picked up in her middle school band. From the first lesson Brian was extremely patient, very encouraging, always working hard to improve her skills and eliminate unwanted sounds. Brian is very knowledgeable and knows how to work with children. The progress my daughter made in such short time is incredible. She is always looking forward to her sax lessons. She even auditioned and was accepted to Honors Band program thanks to Brian. We highly recommend Brian as a music teacher.

Before taking lessons from Brian I knew nothing about saxophone and music. Therefore my progress hasn’t been as fast as I had hoped. Brian really takes the time to teach the basics and pay close attention to saxophone embouchure. Also he is very enthusiastic about music and willing to teach you any songs you want to learn. I am looking forward to being able to perform my current favorite song with his help, but before I can learn that I have to master the basics first. I can definitely see progress from the practice videos I have taken. Will recommend learning from Brian.
