LESSONS WITH GARY

Gary believes that in order to really have fun on the sax, you must have proper technique. Early lessons work on developing a characteristic sound, good "eyes" (reading skills) and appropriate finger action. With basic technique underway, the student is ready for anything else. "Then the fun really begins".
