Loren Stillman

I offer saxophone, flute and clarinet lessons to students of all ages and ability levels. I am known internationally as a jazz musician and composer and my training includes a strong knowledge of rudiments and technicality, which I feel every student should have in order to become a strong instrumentalist and musician. I've had the opportunity to teach privately and as a clinician at the following schools: Jazz workshops, master class and private teaching: The New School (New York, NY); New York University (New York, NY); City College (New York, NY); SUNY New Paltz College (New Paltz, NY); Bard College (Poughkeepsie, NY); Kutztown University (Kutztown, PA); Reykjavik University (Reykavik, Iceland); Kultura Zarautz (Zarautz, Spain); Edinburgh University (Edinburgh, Scotland); Lawrence University (Appleton, WI); Williams College (Williamstown, MA); Yale University (New Haven, CT); Brooklyn College (Brooklyn, NY); Innsbruck Music School (Innsbruck, Austria); Metro State University (Denver, CO); University of Minnesota (Minneapolis, MN); University of Colorado (Colorado Springs, CO); Metro State University (Denver, CO); University of Massachusetts (Amherst, MA); Duke University (Raleigh Durham, NC) Saxophone instructor: 2007-2009 American Composers Orchestra New York, NY 2007-2009 Third Street Music Settlement New York, NY 2006-2007 NYU Graduate Studies New York, NY 2006-2007 Midori & Friends New York, NY 2006-2007 Turtle Bay Music School New York, NY 2000-present The New School New York, NY 2000-present Master class/educator global and regional BFA music performance 2000-2002 Manhattan School of Music New York, NY 2002-2003 The New School New York, NY 2004-2005 Empire State College New York, NY Awards and honors * Downbeat Magazine Rising Star Nomination (2005) * CMA/ASCAP Young Composers Award (2005) * Award For Adventurous Programming-Chamber Music America (2005) * Zoot Sims Scholarship-New School University (2003) * Semi-finalist Thelonius Monk Competition (2001) * Full merit scholarship-Manhattan School of Music (1998) * Outstanding Performance Award-Downbeat Magazine (1996-1998)
