You want to be a stronger saxophonist and feel confident improvising…

…so you’ve tried:

• Watching free YouTube videos
  They’re endless. But so is the time you spend trying to figure out which ones will actually help you grow.
• Buying books and PDFs
  Sure, the pages of licks, lines, and etudes are fun to play at first, but instead of training your mind and ears to create aurally, you’re still a prisoner to written music. You’re collecting training wheels.
  That’s not how the greats made the music that inspired us.
• Taking private lessons
  You get ideas to “go work on,” but after the session ends? You’re on your own again. No accountability. Just… more possibilities.
• Buying another course
  You’re pumped—at first. Then life happens. You stall out. And before you know it, you’re shopping for the next course to fix what the last one didn’t.

What if there was a better way?

The season of life where I experienced the most noticeable growth as a jazz saxophonist was when I was surrounded by mentors who showed me who to listen to, what to listen for, and invited me to play alongside them.

I was part of a scene—with peers who were just as excited to learn. We encouraged each other, shared breakthroughs and frustrations, and kept each other going.

It wasn’t about weekly lessons. It was communal. Organic. Experiential.

Insights and “aha” moments came from stretching just a little further than I was ready for—and then backtracking to fundamentals with enthusiasm, not obligation.

That environment ignited my awe for the jazz saxophone universe, and inspired a lifelong thirst to learn about, and be a part of it.

That’s exactly why I built the Studio.

I wanted to recreate the environment that so powerfully shaped my early development—and bring that experience to you.

It combines the best parts of lessons, courses, and books—but solves the core problem they don’t:

You won’t be left on your own.

As a member of the Studio you’ll find a flexible structure, along with an active group of adult players who are improving month by month—just like you.

Instead of analysis paralysis, you’ll get just what you need next, when you need it:

• ✅ Song-based lessons that teach you improvisation in context
• ✅ Skill-based lessons that build your tone, technique, and ears
• ✅ Mini-courses that go deep on essential topics
• ✅ Monthly challenges to give your practice purpose and clarity
• ✅ Check-ins so you stay accountable and stay inspired

“This is the first time I’ve had a plan I can actually stick with.”

Ready to stop starting over?

You don’t need more stuff.

You need a system—and a place where your playing can actually take root and grow.

That’s what the Studio is.
