Each document stands alone. Together, they form a complete framework — from the first reed on the mouthpiece to a fully built youth wind ensemble program. Read online, or download the PDF.
I
The Study of Saxophone
For Saxophone Teachers · Students · Doublers
A nine-year course of study for the modern saxophonist-doubler. Methods, scales, and repertoire from preparatory year through master's level, with a dedicated chapter on flute and clarinet — because in the professional world, the saxophonist who doubles is employable, and the one who doesn't, isn't.
II
Jazz Performance Syllabus
For Jazz Students · Improvisers · Educators
The companion document to The Study of Saxophone. Course objectives, standards by level, MuseScore-linked references for transcription study, and a frank discussion of editing and technology in modern jazz performance.
III
Building a Youth Wind Ensemble
For Band Directors · School Programs · Conservatories
A framework for concert band programs at any institution. Three-tier architecture, instrumentation by level, audition requirements, sectional coaching as masterclass, and 149 pieces of curated repertoire across Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Wind Symphony.
