"Hi, my name is Luciana, I am originally from Brazil and have always been passionate about music... I am 40 and some years old and never thought that at this age I would be able to play anything! Joshua, helped me understand how to play and in a short period of time I became really confident. And once I learned my instrument I felt so free which gave me a feeling of accomplishment... Joshua Smith is the best, an incredible human being and an admirable saxophone player. Thank you so much for all the inspiration you brought into my life."

"I decided to take up alto saxophone a little under 2 years ago. Since, it's become a source of irreplaceable mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional enrichment/pleasure in my life. Josh has been a remarkable guide and teacher, merging Western musical performance/theory with my own interests in Eastern musical traditions. Josh’s dedication to, expansive knowledge and mastery of music (and instruments) of all sorts is a treasure allowing for exploration along the path towards expertise."
