Thomas Q., Saxophone Teacher, Boston
(339) 368-6363
About Me:
Learning music should be fun, challenging, and ultimately rewarding for both the student and the teacher. I like to work with the student first to determine what their goals would be, or what they want to learn and gain from the lessons. Then we work together learning the fundamentals of the instrument and how to read music. We play songs and pieces to make the music exciting and utilize our fundamentals and theory. With daily practice, patience and hard work from the student and teacher, the student will reach their goals successfully.

The simplest design of saxophone is a straight conical tube, and the sopranino and soprano saxophones are usually of this straight design. However, as the lower-pitched instruments would be unacceptably lengthy if straight, the larger instruments usually incorporate a U-bend at or slightly above the third-lowest tone hole.
