Introduction: Music is my passion, and the center of my creative universe. Something I enjoy in my life, as well as creatively, is options! Just as with art, cooking, sculpting, fashion, or even how we choose our clothes or how to do our hair, we all have options to express ourselves! When I was young I used to describe myself as "wishy washy" because I could never decide on one aspect of music I mostly enjoyed. I changed my music major more than a few times in college, but this gave me a great gift. A large amount of unique musical experiences! Throughout my life and music career I have been involved in everything from: jazz bands, orchestras, quartets, marching bands, composing video game and film music, being a high school band director, arranging music, working at the Musical instrument Museum, and more! I also can't stop learning more instruments! I know now that "wishy washy" is just another phrase for "diverse" or "multi-talented." I've been involved with music for more than 20 years now. Music has brought me so many experiences creatively and personally; and I enjoy being able to bring the same things to more humans of all ages. Seeing students progress from no experience in music into performing, writing, improvising, and playing in groups makes me feel like I am impacting lives and in a small way changing the world. In regards to lessons I believe that lessons are lead by both the teacher and student. I teach each lesson to the best way each individual learns, and incorporate personal goals students want to achieve. Depending on the student and the interests, I will work on anything ranging from playing techniques, rhythm reading, sight-reading, improvisation, composing and arranging music, performance techniques, and theoretical and conceptual music ideas. I love helping people reach their goals!

My son has been taking saxophone lessons virtually with Armando for a few months now. It's so convenient to fit into our schedule with a simple zoom meeting and is helping him develop his skills as he has taken a year off from school band but will be entering high school in the fall. Armando is professional and a very talented musician, I am so glad we found him!

Details: 10 - 13 years old • 2 - 4 yrs of formal training • Yes, the student can read music • Jazz • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student has an instrument • 30 minutes • At the pro’s location

I have been working with Armando for online saxophone lessons and it has been great! I started with no experience on playing saxophone or reading music. Now after two months, I can play WHILE reading notes! HE is a soft spoken, kind and professional teacher. He will adjust lessons to your ability and speed. His main concern is that you enjoy playing the saxophone, so the lessons give you personal creativity on what you would like to learn, or what type of player you would like to be. I'd recommend Armando to anyone looking to learn or re-learn the saxophone.
