For those students who are super focused but can only dedicated one or two days a month for lessons, I am excited to announce a new program available for an immediate start.

I know you are thinking to yourself “What is an immersion music lesson? 

This is a one of kind experience and longer a bit longer then my normal lessons. Simply put, it is combining everything your child would get going to a music program on the weekend all within 1 lesson (minus ensemble playing). Much like learning a new language or anything new, it is always best to go to the countries (or the source) in which said language is primarily spoken, immersion music lessons use the same concept on a bi-weekly or monthly schedule giving an influx of information in a few hours.

What’s included?

Giving a lesson in Miami, FL

Immersion lessons are typically 2+ hours include  focusing on technique, theory & soloing, and even some jazz history & music appreciation. Since there’s so much music playing in this class, the student gets a lot of hand on real world training in the comfort of their own home. Whether the student enjoys learning music in school and will have a life long appreciation for the art form, or they are looking to attend a college or university that has a strong music program or one of the top music conservatories in the world. I make a monthly or bi-weekly program specific to the goals of the student. This program allows for a wide range of levels from basic to college level. For those who are just starting up, all that is needed is a working saxophone. A Keyboard or Piano is needed for use during these lessons.

Immersion Lessons are laid back and last 2-2.5 hours per session. Each lesson concludes with goals for the following lesson while considering long term goals of what the student wants to achieve. Having a long-standing professional performing career and extensive teaching for various programs throughout the country, including universities and the Litchfield Jazz Camp, we can have the student making drastic steps forward in musical progression.

Lesson Location: I make life easy for everyone involved. Lessons happen at home to limit the stress of traveling to any offsite building. This allows the student to feel comfortable. I strive for a no-stress environment for the best experience in musical growth. Locations can be anywhere in the New York City area and up to 1.5 hours of driving in any direction from New York City. Tolls (if applicable) are extra are not included in pricing.

Pricing:  Immersion Lessons are $250 and are paid in advance of the lesson.

Limited Space: Due to the uniqueness of this program and the limited time available, those who are interested should contact me ASAP at albert@albertriverajazz.com to discuss further.
