Music Lessons from Dean, a Juilliard Graduate

"I count myself lucky to have found Dean as my teacher. We’ve been meeting for about 6 months and he has striven hard to boost my level of clarinet play after my long absence from the instrument. Dean is a natural teacher, totally engaged with his student, drilling down to the detail of a piece, a line, a phrase. His watchword is excellence, whether playing a duet, demonstrating the dynamics of a phrase, or explaining the Circle of Fifths. But Dean is no strict pedagogue! He is a relaxed guy, full of encouragement and praise. Lessons are loads of fun with Dean and I look forward to them each week. I highly recommend Dean as a clarinet and saxophone teacher."

"We highly recommend Dean for Sax lessons. For the past two years, Dean has been giving weekly lessons to my 13 year old son. Dean is kind, patient, reliable and developed a great rapport with my son. He also successfully prepared my son for his LaGuardia audition (high school for performing arts). Thanks to Dean’s efforts my son was admitted to this prestigious program."
