Corey Moore Saxophone Lessons

Corey's teaching has resulted in a significant improvement in my daughter's saxophone abilities. His patience and attentiveness make him an excellent instructor, and I would enthusiastically endorse him for lessons.

I have had a remarkably positive experience that has surpassed my expectations. Initially, I had only hoped to achieve a fundamental level of proficiency in saxophone playing. However, under his tutelage, I discovered that his lessons would transform me into a true musician. He radiates positivity and offers unwavering encouragement. His adeptness at spotting potential beyond one's present abilities is truly remarkable.

With a wealth of knowledge and an intense passion for the saxophone, Corey is a true expert in the field. His comprehensive approach covers everything from the fundamentals of proper positioning, embouchure, and horn setup to advanced techniques for improving your chops and creating a better sound. He takes the time to truly understand your individual goals and tailors his lessons accordingly, helping you develop the aspects of playing that you enjoy most. Whether you're interested in improvisation, music theory, or composition, Corey has the experience and expertise to guide you on your journey. I would highly recommend Corey's services to saxophone players of all skill levels.

For approximately two years, I have taken lessons with Corey who is an exceptional instructor. One of his great strengths is his aptitude at conveying technical musical information, and he patiently presents it in alternate approaches if I struggle to comprehend. The focus of each session centers on the specific areas where I need improvement, and we advance to new material once I have comprehended it both theoretically and practically. Occasionally, our discussions deviate from the original theme and take a more spontaneous direction. I particularly enjoy these moments because they are unplanned and compelling. Some of our conversations revolve around topics such as caring for the instrument or addressing sound quality, tone defects or air leaks. Corey's knowledge of the physical technicalities and construction of the saxophone is impressive, and I value our discussions on the subject.

In the past, the mere idea of pursuing a career as a musician and taking private saxophone lessons filled me with dread. I had acquaintances who were musicians and could spend hours practicing classical pieces and endless scale drills. Recently, I discovered my interest in becoming a music therapy major for which physical auditions are required for college admission into a psychology program. The thought of having to take saxophone lessons specifically for this audition felt daunting. I had expected to hate every minute of it, as I am not a natural musician and detest drill-like practices. However, to my amazement, I now eagerly anticipate my weekly lessons. My saxophone teacher, Corey, is exceptionally patient and adapts his teaching to suit my preferences. We work on everything from classical pieces to experimenting with well-known artists like Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel. Corey's teaching style is truly remarkable, and I have already recommended him to friends preparing for college auditions. If he could mend my dislike for saxophone, I have no doubt you are in capable hands.
