About Hudson
In my saxophone teaching practice, I emphasize a holistic approach that combines disciplined technical training with nurturing students’ personal musical expression. I work closely with beginners through advanced players, tailoring lessons to meet individual goals and musical tastes. The technical foundation is essential—proper breath support, embouchure control, finger dexterity, and tone consistency form the pillars of healthy playing. I spend considerable time developing articulation and intonation skills, which are crucial for ensemble performance and solo clarity. Alongside technical work, improvisation is a fundamental part of the curriculum. I start with simple call-and-response games and scale explorations to build musical intuition and confidence. Music theory is integrated seamlessly into lessons, linked directly to repertoire or improvisation, making abstract concepts accessible and useful. I encourage students to select music that excites them—be it jazz standards, blues, pop tunes, or classical pieces—so their learning remains engaging and motivating. Goal-setting is collaborative, focusing on performance preparation, technical milestones, or creative projects like original compositions. A highlight in my teaching career was witnessing a student’s transformation from shy beginner to confident soloist in a community band. That experience underscored the importance of fostering a supportive environment where students can take risks and grow. Ultimately, I aim to develop saxophonists who are both technically accomplished and creatively fulfilled, ready to explore the rich world of music with passion and skill.

Teaching saxophone is a dynamic and rewarding experience that involves guiding students through both technical mastery and artistic expression. I believe that every student has the potential to become a skilled and expressive musician, and my role is to facilitate that growth.
I begin by establishing a strong technical foundation, focusing on posture, breath support, embouchure, tone production, and finger technique. These elements are essential for producing a beautiful sound and for navigating the complexities of the instrument. However, I also recognize that each student has unique learning needs and goals. I tailor my lessons to suit individual preferences, whether that means focusing on classical repertoire, jazz improvisation, or contemporary music.
I encourage students to explore a variety of musical genres to develop a well-rounded musicality and to keep lessons engaging. For students interested in improvisation, I provide structured exercises that build confidence and creativity. I believe that improvisation is a vital skill that enhances musical expression and fosters a deeper connection to the music. Technology plays an important role in my teaching approach. I incorporate digital tools such as recording devices, tuners, and metronomes to facilitate practice and provide immediate feedback. These tools help students become more self-aware and independent in their learning. One of the most fulfilling aspects of teaching is witnessing a student's growth and development. I recall a student who struggled with rhythm and timing.
Through consistent practice and focused guidance, they not only improved but also gained the confidence to perform in front of an audience. Their transformation was a testament to the power of dedicated instruction and the student's commitment. My ultimate goal is to inspire students to enjoy the process of learning, to express themselves through their instrument, and to carry the lessons learned into all areas of their lives.
