About Lucas
Teaching saxophone is a vibrant partnership between mentor and student, where technical foundations and expressive discovery evolve together over time. I tailor lessons for beginners through advanced players, customizing everything from breath support and embouchure formation to finger dexterity, articulation, tone consistency, and rhythmic precision. These technical pillars ensure the player’s tone is strong, flexible, and sustainable across all registers. As students develop, I sharpen intonation and articulation through targeted exercises and ensemble-style playing, helping them blend effortlessly in groups or command attention as soloists. But technique alone isn’t music—I prioritize improvisation as the vital creative outlet. Starting with simple call-and-response and melodic pattern exploration, students learn to communicate freely through improvisation, eventually building solos with scales, motifs, and chordal understanding. Music theory is woven directly into lessons, taught through the pieces or improvisational concepts students are working on, making it both practical and inspiring. Repertoire is always student-led—whether it’s a jazz standard, a pop favorite, a blues line, or a classical étude—so lessons resonate personally. Together we set goals tailored to each journey: preparing for recitals, auditions, community gigs, or completing composition projects. One highlight was guiding a hesitant beginner to confidently perform as the featured soloist in a school jazz ensemble, an achievement that affirmed the transformative power of patient mentorship. My ultimate aim is to nurture saxophonists who are technically proficient, musically expressive, and equipped to share their voice with authenticity and passion.

When I teach saxophone, I’m helping students not just play notes, but speak a musical language with fluency, clarity, and soul. I tailor every lesson to the student’s experience level, goals, and musical tastes, whether they’re aiming to perform, audition, or simply enjoy creative expression. For beginners, we establish technique with a focus on breath control, embouchure setup, finger dexterity, and tone shaping—often using fun call-and-response games and rhythm exercises to make learning feel interactive and organic.
For intermediate and advanced players, the focus shifts toward artistic development and improvisation. We explore blues forms, jazz standards, funk grooves, and Latin rhythms, using real-world material to deepen harmonic knowledge and creative instinct. I break down complex improvisation concepts into digestible chunks, starting with pentatonics and gradually moving into altered scales, guide tones, and chromatic voice-leading.
We regularly listen to and transcribe from jazz icons—Dexter Gordon, Kenny Garrett, Grace Kelly—to understand how phrasing, articulation, and emotion shape their sound. Students keep practice journals, record themselves weekly, and even participate in mock gigs to improve confidence and stagecraft. One of the most rewarding transformations I witnessed was a student who had only read notation beginning to improvise fluently after three months of structured ear training and playback-based practice.
I make sure our time together is focused, supportive, and inspiring, with constant feedback that celebrates effort and encourages risk-taking. Music should feel like discovery, not drudgery, and I try to build an environment where that discovery feels fresh every time a student picks up their horn.
