“Let’s make music our lifelong hobby”

Whether you used to play the saxophone or have just started as an adult. No difficult theory! In this age of 100 years of life, music is the best way to keep your heart healthy and your head healthy. My motto is to give you EWI and Saxophone lessons so that you can enjoy music for the rest of your life.
The key to enjoying music for a lifetime is to make friends who share the same hobby.
