Applied Saxophone Lessons allow music minor and non-music major students who perform at the college level to take lessons for credit. Students are held to a high standard of preparation and public performance, and strive to refine technique, intonation, tone, and musicality. Students are encouraged to perform in a quartet, Penn State University Ensembles, solo recitals, and are required to demonstrate learned skills in an adjudicated jury at the end of each semester. 

Woodwind Methods: Saxophone (MUS 254D) instructs music education students how to teach the saxophone and perform at a competent level. Students learn how to teach a range of ability levels, appropriate repertoire for all ages, and learn to perform on the saxophone at the high school level by the end of the 7 week class.
