How did you get started in music? I was living in a small town, Dexter, where there are maybe only 3,000 people, but among them was a great director, Arthur Lagassee. (I think great directors make all the difference.) When it was time to choose my instrument, I think the saxophone chose me because I actually wanted to play the drums and somehow I ended up with a saxophone. What motivated you to practice? I noticed musicians playing eons beyond where I’ll still ever be able to play at so I knew how high the bar was raised. I also knew I needed to put in a lot of time because I didn’t have my fundamentals together. I was putting in 8-12 hours of practice a day plus taking classes. That’s why I am always preaching to learn the fundamentals. Do you think it is important for a growing musician to take private music lessons? Private instruction is probably the most important thing you could do as a young musician and even as a developing musician. Still to this day, I study privately on flute because there is always continuous development going on. When you have a one-on-one relationship with a teacher you get customized help. That’s one of the things I love about Music & Arts; they have a huge network of private music instructors. What are some of the benefits of upgrading an instrument and what do you look for when you do? Upgrading gear is essential as you continue to become a better player. When you’re looking for a horn, don’t play a Yamaha because I play a Yamaha, get it because it inspires you to play. It’s really kind of a big experiment so I recommend trying a lot of different options. Musically, one of the great things about Music & Arts is that it connects music communities and so you’ll find students, teachers, and parents in the area going to the same place, with some of the same questions so, it’s a great resource for when you’re growing in your music career and trying to find a great instrument, for example. What are some things to avoid when looking for a new instrument? I think you have to remember you really are going to get what you pay for. You can get a great horn on a fixed budget. Or, if you can’t get a new instrument, start with upgrading your accessories, like your mouthpiece or better reeds, to hear a difference and then go from there. I don’t recommend changing everything at once, however. Go in increments and see what difference each piece makes. Can you tell us a little bit about your partnership with D’Addario? D’Addario approached me a number of years back. It has been a great relationship with some great people which, for me, is first and foremost. The people I surround myself with, I want to know they are great people, that they care about who they are working with, that they have a concentration in education, that if I need to get in touch with them I can get in touch with them, that they are supportive of me as an artist, and that they will also have a dialogue with me about gear and moving things forward. And, with D’Addario, it has been just that.
