About
New York City based, Jazz trained music coach, Roy offers private classes (in-person and online) for Jazz Study course regardless of age and level of skills for Saxophone and Clarinet students.
Most of my current students are beginner to intermediate levels. But, especially for saxophone students, Advanced level students are also welcomed.
For online classes, basically students can join the course from anywhere. Some of my students are joining from California, Hawaii, Alabama, Philadelphia and Japan via the Google Meet!
Lesson Style
Practicality is the key part of how I teach my Jazz students. This course is for students who want to start learning Jazz from the scratch regardless of having musical experience or not. Or, having the ability to perform music with your instrument in many ways, but want to switch to Jazz because of auditions of Jazz schools or some sort. Though, being able to have the ability of improvisation is the most fun and challenging part of digesting Jazz music, there are countless methods and ways of sharpening it up to the next level. Taking a tentative step sometimes leads you to be stuck in the mud, like trying to memorize each individual name of scales separately without organizing them. I have solutions for students who is currently suffering how to become better and make your Jazz life better.
