Teaching Philosophy
I believe that the study of music must be tailored to each individuals wants and needs. I believe that to learn music well you must have a strong understanding of rhythm, harmony and patience. What I want people to get out of lessons is a deeper connection and love for the music that brought them here in the first place.
Musical Education
I started my musical education at Capilano University in Vancouver BC and am continuing at McGill with a scholarship. I have been playing saxophone professionally for the past 5 years and I have studied under renowned saxophonist Al Mclean and Mike Allen.
Special Skills and Trainings
Through my years of being a student and professional musician, I have acquired a wide variety of skills. I am well versed in improvisation, theory, rhythm, ear training, and composition. I have preformed in the styles of jazz, rock, indie, R&B, blues, reggae, hip-hop, and metal at a high level. Additionally, I have experience teaching music to a wide range of ages.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
