“Good clear instruction. They way in which this course is presented is well thought out and wants to make you learn more and more. The pace is also good, gives you time to practice. Very clear instruction.”
-Enrico Marongiu

|| ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR ||
Born and raised in the Chicago area, Los Angeles-based saxophonist-composer Dave Wilson graduated from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, studying under David Baker, Tom Walsh, and Pat Harbison. Following that, he lived in Macedonia for two years,working in the non-profit sector yet immersed in a world of Balkan music, performing with local folk, jazz, and rock musicians in the studio, in local clubs, and at festivals.
His collaborators have included Curt Smith (Tears for Fears), Dave Stewart (Eurhythmics), Engelbert Humperdinck, James Torm, composer Mateo Messina (Juno, Thank You for Smoking), producer Charlton Pettus, and French gypsy jazz artist Jessica Fichot.
His performance work has taken him to the stages of the Chicago World Music Festival, the Lotus Festival, the Guadalajara International Book Fair, the London Palladium, the Sydney Opera House, and the Araneta Coliseum, where Ali and Frazier met at the Thrilla in Manila. In 2010 at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, he debuted Light Connected, a piece for clarinet, alto flute, cello, bass, cajon, dancer, and spoken word poet that he conceptualized and co-composed.
In addition to his work as a composer-musician, Dave just completed a Ph.D. in Ethnomusicology at UCLA’s Herb Alpert School of Music. His work there focused on the Macedonian folk tradition, and on how traditional and popular music reflect, articulate,and construct national identity, politics, class, and ethnic tensions in the context of a post-socialist capitalist society.

Dauda Kah –
I have improved since I started. So I just wanted to say thank you for guiding me. I have had a great start in this program. Thank you
Vishal –
Nice explanation with clarity.
Vivien Taylor –
I have just picked up my son’s old sax, 43 years after I gave up my oboe. The reading music was a great refresher, I’ve completed this course in two weeks and really enjoyed it. A bit more of a close up on some of the fingering would have been helpful for me – and a few more tunes so I could become familiar with playing the notes – remembering the fingerings and moving swiftly enough from note to note is my main difficulty but I think that’s age related and younger people will have managed just fine. Excellent though, thank you.
Mitchell D Mittman –
As a basic introductory course, it exceeded my expectations.
Evelyn Johnson –
that last lesson – I was lost on what notes were which and the order to play them, or keying for each
Chan Ka Lung –
Too easy, and not really to the standard of pro
Alex Roik –
Needs better camera angle to show notes, specially with the use of octave key, or least note charts would have helped a ton. Probably won’t finish this course, its too frustrating.
Jose Urgiles –
I already know some music theory, despite the teacher si very clear and I am learning some new things
Scott Thomas Crawford –
yes, I am doing good
Spencer Jackson –
Because it teaches you the fundamentals, and teaches them and a nice easy pace. There are no other distractions and the instructions are clear.
John Kee –
There’s only one saxophone course I found available, but this course has been good so far. I can see from the course content that it teaches various facets of playing saxophone that I was hoping it would cover. And, the instructor is easy to understand and goes at a good pace.
Mmerel –
Excellent for young players. As An adult, I play the video’s at 1.5 speed.
