About Steve

As a music educator, I have been successfully teaching students for 22 years. Although I am a professional saxophone player, I am equally comfortable teaching guitar, bass, set as well as band instrumentation.

I am certified k-12 instrumental music in Iowa. I continue to play professionally on both saxophone and bass.

Jazz is a specialty of mine and I continue to teach on staff at the Simpson College Jazz Camp each summer.

I've performed and taught for over 30 years. But the real start came in 1992 when I was doing my practicum at Eagleville, Mo. I was observing a struggling band rehearsal and discovered I could help. From there I was hooked!

As a teacher, I am certified to teach k-12 music in Iowa. I have taught for 23 years and am currently starting my 7th year of teaching at Dallas Center-Grimes. I teach band grades 8-10, middle school jazz and high school jazz 1. I also perform regularly with various groups in the Des Moines Metro both as a saxophonist and a bass player.

About the lesson

My typical process for working with a new student is to get to know the student, their current ability level/progress, and set goals together.

I've had students ranging in age, ability, and various levels of interests over the years.

I would suggest meeting with the instructor to ensure things are a good fit.

I recently played saxophone with an all-star big band at Noce. That was a fun and challenging gig. I played alto sax, soprano sax, and flute. Fun gig!
