About

I don't like to compare myself with other teachers. I would rather like to stress that my main interest as a teacher is revealing to a student the joy that comes from playing saxophone and the ways in which she or he can learn from my guidance how to teach themselves and thus continue to improve throughout their lives. Helping others discover the wonders of music and the great sense of well being that comes from playing music well.

I am a professional musician and music teacher, and when I decided to learn a little saxophone for a project I went on Thumbtack and quickly found Zan. He's a great teacher: he could see exactly what knowledge I would need to have in order to really get started on the instrument, and he conveyed it to me in a direct and warm way, getting me well set up for success with the sax. In addition he is very friendly and fun to work with. As a colleague, I can tell that he must be a great teacher with people of all skill levels and ages. I am looking forward to working with him more as I need further lessons!

Zan is a very supportive and constructive teacher. He really listens to how you're playing and zeroes in on the areas you need to work on. He's great about giving support and encouragement while holding you to a high standard as a musician. I look forward to working with him!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
No, just a per hour rate: $50.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, hear the student play, then make an evaluation and offer a plan to work on improving.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a daily practicer, putting in up to six hours a day on my craft. I am always striving to improve. Music is huge; I pay it respect by endeavoring to become the best musician I can be. I have had the good fortune to study with many wonderful teachers in both the jazz and classical fields; this has deeply broadened my understanding of music and my capacity to play it and teach it.
