We had a great first lesson with isaac today! He was very accommodating. He was able to do lessons at our house for me (35 year old total beginner), my sister who is 40, and my niece who is 5. He showed up right on time (5 minutes early!) and messaged with us ahead of time to open lines of communication as well as sending us follow up exercises. He was great with my niece. We plan to continue working with him! We all wore masks and had a safe, great time!

Thanks to Isaac my 14 y/o son wants to play saxophone again after over a year not wanting to touch it. Professional, patient, motivating, upbeat, responsive, engaged and very talented, Isaac is a great musical coach, and my son always looks forward to his classes and finally motivated to grow as a sax player! I’m grateful that we got lucky and found Isaac! We are keeping him!

FAQs

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  I ask them what they want out of music lessons. Then break those up into manageable and tangible goals that stress why they enjoy music. Music is such a vast area of artistic expression and above all else I seek to pinpoint the skills i can impart on a student that will give them the tools to teach them self what they want to learn in the future. To make music into a playground.

• How did you get started doing this type of work?

  Music is a positive feedback loop. The more time and effort you put into it the more fun it becomes and the more time you want to put into it. Since i started rolling down this hill a little over a decade ago i just haven’t stopped. As for teaching it’s what i’m both best at and enjoy most. Nothing feels better than when a student finally “gets it” and you see their mind expand into new spaces.

• What types of customers have you worked with?

  I have taught from young children just starting the saxophone or piano to adults who have years of experience.
