Saxophone Lessons

With the opening of his own studio, located in central Houston, Martin Langford is able to accommodate more students in the demand for private music lessons. He accepts students from the beginning level to advanced.

Private lessons on alto, tenor, soprano, and baritone saxophone, flute, and clarinet are given with training available from classical flute to Jazz improvisation.

With one-on-one saxophone, flute or clarinet instruction, students move rapidly through all scholastic requirements.

In addition to providing correct instrument technique and music theory, Martin is very adept at motivating the young musician. From motivation comes practice and through practice the student becomes confident. With confidence, they excel in all of their endeavors. Many former students are achieving notoriety in their fields: Rex Gregory - New Orleans; Bryan Cremer - Katy TX Educator; Eric Bustamante - London; Evan Burrus - Eastman Graduate; Eric Hargett - Los Angeles CA; and Ben Bohorquez - Dallas TX.
