While at the New School he got to study with saxophone greats such as Dave Glasser, Tony Malaby, Rich Perry, and George Garzone and saxophonist/clarinetist Chris Speed.

A veteran of New York's jazz scene, Patrick has also been an active member in groups as varied as Billy Hart's "Academy" band (jazz quintet), Bing and Ruth (live ambient music), NOOK (instrumental/improvisational rock), Basement Magic (jazz trio), Sauce (classical/jazz/dance fusion), Volker Goetze's Big Band and Quintet (modern jazz), Solomon Douglas's Swingtet (swing era dance band), and Myk Freedman's Suit and Whistle Sound Band (jazz/folk/circus/klezmer).

Patrick has taught all ages and skill levels - from beginner saxophone and clarinet technique to advanced improvisational, ear training, and music theory concepts.

Ms. Fisher's primary goal as a teacher is to foster the knowledge and growth of each student in a supportive and creative learning environment. Each student is encouraged to be literate, expressive and imaginative in their area of study while we also address their objectives and obstacles. Many students welcome this well-rounded approach, while others have clearly focused agendas which we then pursue.
The typical voice and speech student is taught voice relaxation, breath support, vocal flexibility, vowel formation, consonant articulation, resonance identification, vocal self-awareness, intonation, and sight-singing - for starters. The typical piano student is taught note-reading, rhythms (counting), dynamics and other music notation, posture, finger position and technique - for starters.
Students interested in learning music theory (how to read music) work through a theory workbook that includes ear training exercises. All students are given Assignment Sheets, on which Ms. Fisher writes instructions and key points discussed in the lesson that are helpful reminders when practicing at home.
Weekly lessons are scheduled on a month-by-month basis, as the student is a reserving a weekly timeslot. Bi-weekly lessons are not available. Call with any questions you may have about lessons, scheduling, and studio policies.

B.M., Music History/Theory, UW-Whitewater. I have been performing for 15 years and teaching for over 10 years. I specialize in electric guitar. I can work effectively with students of any age and skill level - all I require is the motivation to practice. I have developed a solid curriculum; students learn fundamental skills which will eventually enable them to learn on their own. I work especially well with students who are interested in Jazz improvisation and composition, but I can teach rock, blues, and classical styles equally well. Beginners welcome. I treat every guitarist as a potential pro, so topics like improvisation, songwriting, arranging, and recording are common during lessons. In the Madison/Stoughton area I can be reached through J.B. Music, and in the Janesville area I work in a home studio, complete with technology that enhances the learning experience.

Rockwell Rice began playing guitar 15 years ago. Since then he has gone on to earn a B.A. in music from UW Whitewater where he studied under George Lindquist, and a Master's degree in Guitar Performance from UW Madison where he studied under Javier Calderon. Rockwell has taught many different styles of music to many different levels of guitarists. His classical training as a musician has lead him to the philosophy that teaching should focus on making true musicians out of students, not just guitar players. Students will not only learn the mechanics of playing guitar, but also the theory behind the music they are playing which will give them a fuller understanding of the music, and instrument. I teach on the west side very near to the beltline. Feel free to contact with any questions you may have.

I am a freelance saxophonist originally from Appleton, WI and have made my way to Madison via Ann Arbor/Detroit, MI and Chicago, IL. I received a BFA in Jazz Studies from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, where I studied Jazz theory and improvisation with Donald Walden and classical saxophone technique with Donald Sinta. I have been active as a performer and teacher since the late 1990's, playing in groups with sounds ranging from jazz to blues, country-blues, rock, hip-hop and pop. Past work includes touring with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Joc'lyn B and the Detroit Street Players, The Bottomfeeders (Chicago), The Band Gage (Chicago), Animate Objects (Chicago), and The Mike Sullivan Band (Chicago). I can be heard on recordings with the University of Michigan Jazz Ensemble, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Animate Objects, and the soon-to-be-released recording of Joc'lyn B and the Detroit Street Players live at Memphis Smoke in Royal Oak, MI.
My teaching experience includes work with the Appleton Area School District, the Ann Arbor Christian School, and the Sherwood Conservatory of Music in Chicago, with emphasis on private instruction in saxophone and clarinet. Please feel free to call or e-mail me for further information.
