I believe in adapting my lesson plans to the interests of each student. With a background in both classical and jazz, I am able to teach all levels and ages on saxophone, clarinet, and flute.
In addition to general music lessons, I can also prepare my students for their Royal Conservatory of Music Exams, music competitions, band auditions, and university music program (undergraduate and graduate) applications. |

| Canadian saxophonist Justin Massey is an interpreter of contemporary music currently based in Toronto, Ontario. With an obsession of creating new sonorities and textures through the saxophone, Justin searches for obscure and unexplored sounds offered by the instrument and its unparalleled potential to create visceral and emotional music. Justin presents music of his generation in all of his performances by commissioning new repertoire and collaborating closely with composers in search of these new sounds, often through electronic manipulation of the saxophone. Recently, Justin has commissioned and premiered new works for saxophone and live electronics by Carolyn Borcherding, Brian Lee Topp, Jacob Sachs-Mishalanie, and Jason Charney. He is currently working in collaboration with Camila Agosto to create and perform the five movement Paracusia series for saxophone and live electronics. |
