Saxophone lessons · Spokane & online
Kevin Wakefield teaches saxophone lessons in the Spokane area for school band students, in person in Colbert and online. Lessons build tone, articulation, reading and style, from school band music to jazz, pop and funk.
Elementary, middle and high school band students on alto or tenor sax, from first-year players to jazz band hopefuls.
Kevin has played saxophone and trumpet in touring groups and variety bands, and he programs horn sections as a keyboardist, so he knows how a section breathes, phrases and blends. Sax students learn to sound great alone and even better with others.
