Alto Saxophone In E♭
About
In 1995, I learned to play sax. I teach how to play alto and baritone saxophone, which are both in E♭, how to read music, and how to improvise. I own two alto saxophones, one for teaching.
I enjoy teaching saxophone to see people learn to play an instrument that I have played for more than 20 years.
