Saxophone Lessons in The Annex Toronto, Ontario

2024-12-9 - Alvin

Hi there! I’m Alvin Ryze, a professional saxophonist, Billboard-charting musician, and passionate music educator. I’m excited to share my love for the saxophone with students in The Annex, Toronto, and beyond. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills, my comprehensive saxophone program is designed to meet you where you are and help you achieve your musical goals.

A Little About Me

My musical journey began with formal training in saxophone at the University of British Columbia. I received my Bachelors of Music degree in 2019. I’ve also had the privilege of learning jazz from incredible professors at Capilano University, who helped shape my approach to both playing and teaching. With this solid foundation, I’ve performed across genres like jazz, pop, R&B and classical, and I bring this diversity to every lesson I teach.

Personalized Lessons for Every Student

I believe no two students are the same, so I plan each lesson to suit your unique goals and aspirations. Whether you’re aiming to perform soulful jazz solos, mastering timeless classical pieces, or improvising with confidence, I’ll work with you to create a curriculum that’s as unique as you are. Together, we’ll develop the skills and techniques you need to succeed while making the process fun and engaging.

My Teaching Philosophy

Growth comes from a supportive environment, and that’s exactly what I aim to create in my lessons. I provide constructive feedback to help you improve while celebrating your progress every step of the way. My goal is to build your confidence, foster your creativity, and make learning the saxophone an experience you’ll look forward to every week.
