Laura has given me saxophone lessons for many years. I find her approach very helpful to me, and she also takes into consideration what I am working on. She gives me lessons on Skype or in person, and we play a lot during the lesson, utilizing the theme of the current lesson. For example, if I was working on a blues in every key, she would have me review the blues structure, then play the head and solo on it in a few keys. If she was demonstrating how to deal with two chord changes with common chord tones, she would have me play the tune with that in mind as I solo on it. Rhythmically we are working on Brazilian rhythms currently, so she is having me work on some bossas using the specific samba or bossa rhythm during my solo. I start with vocally doing the rhythm, and then do it on the sax using one note, and then do it with the chord scale, eventually doing a solo in the rhythm I am trying to master at the time.I take away a lot every time I have a lesson, and enjoy working on the assignments she gives me.

I believe that there are three characteristics that make a musician great: practice music as a profession, comprehend the history behind the music she or he practices, and teach music to others. Laura Dreyer has been my saxophone teacher for five years, and she indeed fits my criteria as a great musician. She works hard in the field of current music. Her three solo albums are full, expressive works, and she has also recorded with legends like Dom Salvador. She plays frequently around New York City, in other cities around the country and abroad. I’m always impressed with her wide knowledge of jazz, mainstream or otherwise. There have been times when I thought I’d discovered a jazz player-- she would already know him and give me more of his music to listen to. Both of these aspects of musicianship feed into her skill as a teacher. Laura was my teacher through high school, and I can speak to how good she is with teenage players. She understands the workload that comes from high school, and assigned me what was challenging but not stressful. She makes playing the saxophone an enjoyable challenge, and it is through that method that I have made progress on the saxophone. Also, just as importantly, she’s a kind person, a teacher as well as a friend. I’m in college now, but I make sure to schedule lessons with Laura when I’m home during the summer. If you or your child is looking for a thorough, talented and amicable teacher who is truly a great musician, I encourage you to contact Laura Dreyer. -Eli, age 20

Laura has my daughter as her student and she is doing a great job in motivating her. Laura is teaching her flute, piano, theory, and improv and keeps feeding her material that she keeps her on her toes. Mission accomplished, I'd say!

My daughter is a student of Laura's and she has soared in her ability in playing the alto sax. She has been going to Laura for about 3 years. Laura is patient and relaxed, not rigid. She challenges my daughter, yet she always has a positive and enjoyable experience. My daughter loves going to her sessions!
