THE SAX WEARS A SUIT

Simone is unquestionably the best teacher I have ever had in the 60+ years that I have been playing the clarinet. Although I had been away from playing for some time, Simone provided gentle advice and direction that has significantly improved my technique, tone, and musicianship as well as my confidence as a saxophonist . Simone is able to establish a great rapport with his students both mature and young. He understands their needs and goals and helps them achieve those goals. Thanks to Simone 's encouragement and help, I was recently accepted as a member of a fine regional symphonic band. Above all, a lesson with Simone is not only instructive.

Simone is an awesome musician and teacher who truly wants his students to shine! He taught my daughter at his location in High School and via Skype once she advanced to college. Simone fostered my daughter's love of the saxophone and helped her to improve and accomplish her musical goals. Whether the goal was to make District Band in High School, to successfully audition in college or to improve sound & technique, Simone has provided motivation and technical expertise!

I feel privileged to be able to write this review. Simone was my son Sunil's saxophone instructor throughout middle and high school, and his supporter through college. Under Simone's expert instruction Sunil earned the award for Pennsylvania All State Musician in alto sax as a high school senior. In addition to Simone's incredible expertise in performance music and his high level teaching skills, he is a very generous and patient and caring person. Over the course of years Simone became a true friend to Sunil and to our whole family. I would recommend Simone to any music student unconditionally.

Simone is flexible and geared towards the needs of the individual student. I am returning to the clarinet after more than a 40-year absence and he is able to accommodate my requirements. He is friendly and makes the student feel at ease. I look forward to more lessons with him.

Best teacher ever! Simone tailors each lesson for my 10-year-old son--who honestly is a reluctant student. In three lessons Michael has improved his playing and also given him practical fun tips on how to practice between lessons.

Knows what he's talking about, gets to the point, does not waste time, personable, and listens to where I want the training to go.

Simone is great in mixing music practical skills with the fun part of playing real pieces. He is teaching me to play by ear so it is very fun! I highly recommend him.
