Learn Saxophone

Using Neuropsychology-backed Practice Techniques

At Sax & Piano, every saxophone lesson is designed to help you learn efficiently, build confidence, and develop true musicality.

We don’t believe in slow progress, unclear communication between teacher and student, and not getting the saxophone learning experience you need to progress.

What You’ll Get:

  • High-level expertise providing neuropsychological practice techniques
  • Flexible in-person saxophone lessons (not rigidly timed – learning comes first)
  • A young saxophone teacher who effortlessly connects and makes music fun

A Holistic Education —What You Will Learn

The Fundamentals

Breathing, blowing air, reading notes

Quality Practice

How, when, where, and why you need it

Musicality

Phrasing, warm vs cold air, thin vs fat sound, and more

No stone is left unturned. Each saxophone lesson aims to provide as much value as possible and answer all your questions to leave you prepared to work on your progress.

Across my students’ saxophone learning journey, they become holistic players who perform well in AMEB exams and understand music theory and jazz concepts. Students are prepared to play with other musicians in groups and big bands, improvisation.

As a holistic saxophone teacher, I believe in helping students with any aspects of life, developing their self-discipline and individual thinking to help them navigate their world beyond music.

Why Choose Sax & Piano?

Here is a simple list of things that differentiate me as a saxophone teacher from others:

  • Streamlined saxophone teaching with practice techniques for fast progress
  • An enormous source of motivation and drive in my own life
  • A young saxophone teacher who effortlessly connects with children and young adults. Learn more about me.  
  • A degree in Psychology and Neuroscience to inform teaching, understand students’ struggles and improve communication and connection
  • I was taught and mentored by Melinda Atkins since high school, teacher of world-renowned saxophonist Amy Dickson
  • My saxophone lessons often extend over 1 hour, because I care about the student’s progress and don’t run on a tight schedule
  • My grandfather was the head music teacher,  teaching saxophone lessons, piano lessons and all other instruments in Serbia; it’s in the genes

My Message

Call or text at my number below to book a free saxophone lesson!

My saxophone lessons are clear, supportive and value packed.

We’ll go through the fundamentals, how to practice properly, and musicality. Most students go through AMEB and get A’s and A+ grades.

My communication is very clear and simple, and I use all kinds of imagery to help stick concepts in my saxophone students’ minds all the time. The lessons are fast-paced and energetic, we’re always learning. Learn more about me. 

My sax lessons often last longer than 1-hour, though I charge only an hour’s time.

My goal as saxophone teacher is for students to become their own teachers, so they can discipline themselves and learn anything they want.
