I've been one of Keith students since last summer, we have finished one book, and I'm ready to explore the next stages of saxophone playing. Since the beginning Keith has been very professional as a teacher and patient with me in accomodating my learning curve, silly questions, and helping me explore new practice methods. His ability to help you learn is amazing.
If you're looking for a skilled and passionate saxophone teacher, Keith Daniels is an excellent choice. With a Masters in musical composition and years of experience as a performer and educator, Keith has the knowledge and expertise to help students of all levels improve their playing.
But what really sets Keith apart is his patient, respectful, and understanding approach to teaching. He takes the time to get to know each student's unique learning style and adapts his lessons accordingly, making sure that every student feels supported and challenged.
Keith is also incredibly passionate about music, and he excels at transmitting that passion to his students. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your playing to the next level, Keith can help you achieve your musical goals and become the best saxophonist you can be.Keith helped me prepare my entry exam for music school. He is a real pro and genuinely passionate about his students learning beyond the basics. He puts his heart into lessons, inspiring curiosity and enthusiasm to keep working hard. He's also a sweetheart and very very funny. I fully recommend him.
