My name is Ian Tordella and I teach saxophone and jazz improvisation (including jazz, rock, funk, classical, and other styles).
I encourage all my students to enjoy exploring the sound of the saxophone and to find their voice on the instrument.
Lessons include everything from reading and basic stylistic concepts, to improvisation, playing along with recordings of your favorite players, and transcription.
I am a graduate of the University of North Texas Jazz Studies program and have 20 years of teaching experience.
In the past I’ve had the opportunity to study with many inspiring saxophonists and musicians and I enjoy passing on the tradition to new students!
