"Mr. Smith was my private saxophone instructor for two years. Words cannot express how much I improved not only as a musician but also as a person. Mr. Smith was able to help me achieve great things that I thought were impossible, such as high placement in All-State and acceptance to numerous, prestigious collegiate music programs. It was Mr. Smith's passion for music that made me continue to want to teach and perform music at the higher level. I value every second of study with him, and I would reccomend Mr. Smith to anyone looking for high-quality instruction."
— Joshua White (Brighton HS / UT Martin BM / UGA Saxophone Grad"
