My teaching style is based on the belief that musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed for all people.
I tailor my teaching to each individual students' needs, to help them realize their personal musical goals.
Lessons will include exercises that break down broad skills into easily manageable goals and objectives for the student.
Some skills that we may develop in lessons include: Tone Production, Technique, Learning Standards, Sight-Reading, Developing Jazz Vocabulary, Ear Training, Improvisation, Playing With Emotion.
I specialize in jazz baritone saxophone, but also teach alto, soprano, and tenor.

Xander’s passion for music results in him creating music that is inspiring and unique for others. His personality, desire to help others and his clear communication in combination with him being a good listener make it easy to talk to him. I hope Xander gets to share his passion for music with more people.
I think Xander is a great teacher. He is very patient. When I make mistakes he helps me solve them one by one with clear logic. He is also great at motivating me by planning out actionable goals. I never get bored in my lessons because Xander is so passionate.
Ableton is my favorite DAW for music production. Xander helped make my production workflow faster and more efficient. I've learned not only how to use Ableton better, but also how to become a more creative music producer.
