About Scarlett

As a saxophone educator, my teaching philosophy is inspired by the energy, freedom, and discipline of jazz. I believe that learning music—especially an expressive and versatile instrument like the saxophone—should combine technical mastery with creativity and emotional connection.

My approach nurtures strong fundamentals while encouraging students to explore improvisation, composition, and interpretation from the start. In our lessons, we begin with essential technique: tone development, breath control, articulation, embouchure, finger dexterity, and rhythm. These form the framework for confident playing across all styles. I also integrate ear training, theory, and jazz harmony early on, laying the groundwork for understanding how music works and how to think like an improviser.

My lessons are tailored to suit each student’s goals and personality. For some, that means diving deep into Charlie Parker transcriptions or exploring bebop scales and altered chords. For others, it might mean jamming over a lo-fi groove or playing soulful ballads by ear. I use play-along tracks, improvisation games, and collaborative call-and-response exercises to help students develop their listening skills, spontaneity, and stage presence. Improvisation is a major part of my teaching—not only as a performance tool but also as a way to build confidence and ownership of music. I help students break down improvisation into digestible steps: scale choices, melodic development, phrasing, and rhythmic creativity.

We also listen to great saxophonists to analyze their tone, style, and approach. Technology plays a key role in my lessons. Students use recording software, slow-downer apps, and digital loopers to practice creatively and analyze their progress. I encourage students to create their own arrangements or covers, which strengthens their musical identity and connects them with a wider audience if they choose to share online. One of my proudest teaching experiences was mentoring a student who felt limited by traditional sheet music.

Through a custom program focusing on ear-based learning, jazz harmony, and expressive soloing, they grew into a passionate player who now leads their own ensemble. Their journey showed me how powerful personalized teaching can be. Above all, I aim to make saxophone lessons a place where technique and joy coexist—where students feel supported, inspired, and free to express themselves through music.
