Dave Goldberg

Specialties

Private Saxophone, Clarinet, and Flute Lessons.

Students will be taught proper fundamentals such as breathing, embouchure, articulations, and fingerings. Students will also be taught basic music theory such as scales, rhythms, and key signatures. Students will be given pieces to work on. Some designed to build technique, others to develop lyrical style, and some just for fun. Some of these pieces will be duets as I feel that it is very important for the student to actually play with the teacher.
