Introduction: I teach all ages and levels. I focus on getting you to learn by playing tunes. This is more rewarding and fun but we still learn the theory and technique with songs we can play. I am a professional sax player with over 20 years of teaching woodwind and keyboard from k to adult at all levels. I teach the music you want to learn.

Mr. Mervyn is a phenomenal teacher. Not every great musician knows how teach. If you are looking for a true professional who can teach quality techniques, articulation, ear training, sight reading, and improvisation, Mr. Mervyn is the teacher for you. He makes learning fun and goes beyond what listed in the book. My 10 year-old enjoys his lessons.

Details: Child (0 - 17 years old) • No formal training • Yes, the student can read music • Jazz • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student has an instrument • 30 minutes • I travel to the saxophone teacher • The saxophone teacher travels to me

Merv is an excellent multi-talented and extremely excellent teacher as well. My daughter and I have been taking piano lessons from Merv for several years; and through his talent and teaching skills have really taken us higher in our skil but love for leaning more! He is also one of the greates saxophone players I have ever seen. You can't get a better or Jazz musician than Mervyn Johnston!!!

Mervyn has been coaching our son Cooper in saxophone for two years while at BAK Middle School and we couldn’t be happier. After each lesson, Cooper feels stronger and more confident in his skills. While Mervyn is patient and understanding, he is also very encouraging. As a result Cooper always feels prepared for his classroom assessments and school performances. Mervyn is an extremely talented musician and a great role model for our son!

Mervyn is a great sax teacher. My son continues to work with him and has earned a music scholarship at a private high school with the help of Mervyn!

My son just picked up the sax and is enjoying playing! In a matter of 2 lessons he is playing songs that I recognize! I am pleased with Mervyn's instruction and look forward to seeing him foster our budding musician!
