I am an adult student and started playing tenor sax when I retired. I started with Sean as a complete novice - not only new to the tenor sax, but having never learned how to read sheet music other than rhythm for playing the drums. From the start Sean was very encouraging - even through the painful first lessons when I couldn't properly make sounds come out of the horn! Once I had the basics of learning to at least play all the notes on the range of the tenor sax, Sean moved me into learning all the scales through improvisa… > From David, 5 out of 5 > Passion, enthusiasm, inspiration, intelligence, and patience are just some of the qualities that Sean Nowell brings to life, music, and teaching. I have been playing the sax, flute, and clarinet since I was a kid and had developed a lot of bad habits. Sean took the time to help me work through these bad habits, rebuild my approach, and regain my confidence. We explore improvisation through playing and transcriptions. Whether it is a standard or a contemporary tune, Sean has the ability to break down complex musical structures and offer straightforward soloing ideas that I have been able to us… > From Dr, 5 out of 5 > Sean Nowell is an excellent saxophone teacher. When I first started taking lessons with him as a young'n, he taught me how to play scales, form a proper embouchure, and read sheet music fluently. About a year ago, he helped me record a Giant Steps solo for college applications. But there are many excellent saxophone teachers. What makes Sean such an important person in my life is the fact that he is one of the few people I know who is passionate and courageous enough to truly follow his dreams; many people lie to themselves and say they do, but this man is the real deal. Through his actions a… > From Justin, 5 out of 5 > Sean Nowell is fantastic teacher and musician. He has the ability to work with students at any level. He has worked with my son, now age 18, for three years and has successfully prepared him for the next level of musicianship in the world of Jazz Music at the college level. Sean's creativity as a teacher, combined with his own talents as a tenor sax, flute and clarinet player make him a terrific find in the world of private music instruction. I recommend him completely and without any reservation if you are looking for a great teacher who can help to bring you note net level. - Margaret Russe… > From Conor, 5 out of 5 > Sean Nowell is a music instructor with great integrity, enthusiasm and vision. His passion for both music and teaching are apparent in every lesson. As non-musicians, we were most impressed with the time and care he took with our son explaining how to get the best out of his instrument including care and maintenance. Most importantly, Sean provided the necessary inspiration to help our son move beyond seeing himself as just playing in a school band to a confident musician who looks forward to pursuing a career in music. > From Patty, 5 out of 5 ## Book - [Book on TeachMe.To](https://teachme.to/listings/music-production/music-production-with-sean-nowell): Pick a pack, a time, and a location, then pay. - [This coach in the agent API](https://api.teachme.to/agent/v1/coaches/cd2d1eb2-6efe-4db9-af24-769df875ebf4): Read open times, get an exact quote, and book for a student. - [Agent instructions](https://api.teachme.to/agent/v1/llms.txt): Read this before calling the API.
