It
is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation on behalf
of Igor Babich. I have known Igor for 3 years.
The progress that my son made during his 3 years with Igor as a teacher far
exceeded any expectations I had and demonstrated to me what a wonderful
teacher he is. Not only did my son grow as a saxophone player he gained
more confidence in himself. Playing and practicing the saxophone was not a
chore but rather an activity he performed happily and voluntary.
Igor was able to
impart his enthusiasm and love of playing the saxophone onto my son. Rather
than work directly from a saxophone lessons book, he would play different
pieces of music and allow him to choose what he wanted to learn. He
customized the music and lessons to his current skill level while at the
same time providing challenges to keep the learning process going. By
allowing him to choose the piece that he wanted to
learn, he became part of the teaching process. My son had more incentive and
motivation to practice and play. He would eagerly practice at home! Once a
one piece was mastered, he was very enthusiastic about beginning his next
new piece.
Igor is not only
friendly and patient, but also is good at gauging his student’s level
of knowledge and ability. His commitment to his students is evident. Igor
sees each student as an individual and draws upon their strengths to teach
them in ways that work best for them. He played by himself and provided my
son with a recorded track of the piece that they were working on. This
allowed my son to hear how the music should be played and reinforced the
lesson material. Igor customized my son’s lessons to his ability and
particular learning characteristics.
I respect Igor for
many of his qualities but most of all because he is able to connect with
his students and customize their lessons according to their strengths. Igor
is a very positive and encouraging teacher who is able to make confident
self-motivated saxophone players out his students. I highly recommend Igor Babich as a teacher and an envious of his future
students who can experience his contagious passion and love of music first
hand.
Sincerely,
Zara and Michael Nazarian

not only a gifted and talented musician, but also a wonderful instructor

I cannot thank you
enough Igor.

of Toronto, Scarborough,

Igor
Babich has been teaching my son to play saxophone
for 3 years. Using his adaptive and individual teaching method Igor
dramatically improved my sun’s skills and techniques, build his confidence
to perform as a part of a band and soloist.
Brilliant teacher,
talented musician and a thoughtful person Igor opens for his students the
splendid world of jazz in the most electrifying and funniest ways, gives
them various points of view by introducing them to renowned sax players and
jazz bands. I believe that Igor’s students will keep the love and
taste for a good music for the rest of there lives.
Without any
hesitation I would recommend Mr. Babich to
anybody who is interested in studying playing music with one of the finest
saxophone teachers in GTA.

“It has been
only one year since my son Henry started his saxophone lessons with Igor
and I am thrilled with the progress that Henry has made. Igor is such a
great teacher with outstanding techniques and effective teaching style. His
unique way of conducting the lesson makes it interesting and enjoyable.
Henry really enjoys every minute of the lesson and the every day practice.
With no reservation I would recommend Igor as a great saxophone teacher to
any of my friends.
Thank you for the
great job, Igor !

jam. You’ll be happy to
know that it was held today and both were FANTASTIC ! Thank you so much for sending
them my way. Here’s a few

Again, I’m
very grateful to you…
