There is no substitute for a highly-qualified private instructor. Regular practice and consistent instruction is essential to your musical growth on the saxophone.

Many players like yourself realize the need for instruction and guidance. The lack of a qualified saxophone instructor in your area should not stop you. The inability to keep a regularly scheduled lesson doesn't need to impede your progress.

If you have the desire to learn, you WILL learn through Lessons by Mail.

Over the past 5 years many progressing saxophonists have sought out the Lessons by Mail approach offered by SaxShed.com. Many LBM students have been working professionals who play saxophone semi-professionally, in community groups or just for fun and relaxation.

In an effort to help these students through LBM, a pattern began to appear. The same few very popular lessons have been sent out over and over. Sound improvisational concepts coupled with solid saxophone technique are what most are looking for here at SaxShed.com.

*These courses are not recommended for students with no prior playing experience. i.e. absolute beginners.

Hi Skip, I just got a chance to play the tape this morning. I liked it; it is very simplistic in design, as well as being informative. Now all I need to do, is find more time to practice. To sum it up, I find the tape very helpful, Thanks!

Your breath control exercises have been priceless...it was really the missing element in my sound. Your site is a great service to the musician community.

Thank you for including your personal playing in the lesson. and right up front like you do, so that i can plug it in and not search for it. I am glad that i have hooked up with you. Thank you skip for investing so much of yourself into the lessons that you sent me so far. I definately sense your dedication, and your kindness comes through in your presentation... just wanted you to know.
-J. Dweck

Skip, I got your first lesson package and have gone through it. I'm ready to move on to the next lesson. By the way, you've got a great sound. It is apparent you've been playing a while. I really like the CD. It gave me an insight into how some of these effects are done. Now it's just a matter of working on them and using them in my playing. Looking forward to lesson 3.
-Cary B.
