Ellen Tien

Saxophonist; Classical Musician; Music Instructor

I started music in the 3rd grade on the piano. In middle school, I liked and joined the school band on saxophone. But it wasn't until my senior year that I seriously decided to make music my career. As you can see I wasn't the best music student and yet I ended up with a M.A. from The Boston Conservatory at Berklee, one of America's most prestigious music schools. This is my speciality in teaching music, I understand and am able to teach every range of student, from the uninterested kid to the adult hobbyist to the highly dedicated musician.
