improve your tone and develop your sound

learn how to play chromatically

I will help you develop your individual sound and style with a custom designed lesson plan specifically created for you, whether you want to learn how to play hard bop saxophone in the style of John Coltrane, the rock/blues/country/bluegrass style of the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia or anything in between.

My experience includes over 20 years of teaching improvisation and saxophone. My performance career includes work and recordings with such diverse artists as Charlie Hunter and Medeski, Martin & Wood (jazz), Bob Weir/RatDog and the Allman Brothers (rock) and the Ohio Players (funk) as well as many others.
