Saxophone Lessons with Hilary Noble

Introduction: Hilary Noble is woodwind player, Afro-Latin percussionist, composer and music educator living in the Boston area. He has performed all over the U.S, Europe, and in Puerto Rico. His music has been played on radio stations internationally and featured prominently on local programs such as WGBH’s “Eric in the Evening”, on which he has performed live with his band Enclave. In 2008 Enclave received a grant from Chamber Music America to compose an Afro-Cuban jazz suite: the resulting work was premiered live on WGBH and at the Jazz Gallery in New York City. Artists Hilary Noble has played and recorded with include Bobby Sanabria’s Ascención, Esperanza Spalding, John Santos, Charles Neville, Bo Diddley, Eric Krasno, Entrain, Max Creek, Bob Moses, Robin Kenyatta, Clifford Thornton, and Alvin Queen. A child prodigy from Geneva, Switzerland, I traveled the globe performing at some of the great jazz festivals. After moving to Boston to attend Berklee college of music. After studying with some of the masters in Cuba, I recorded several albums and have been playing regularly with the band Entrain for close to 20 years. Sharing my passion with students is one of my great joys, and I have taught in the Boston Public Schools for ten years. Through that work I have found great joy in watching my students, from preschool through high school blossom as they find their musical voice.
