Testimonials:
-----------
" Igor is a
wonderful teacher. I feel that I've improved my musicianship immensely because
of my lessons. After only a few weeks of lessons, my high school music
teacher (at Earl Haig Secondary) asked me what I had done to improve my
skills so much! I would recommend Igor as a teacher to anyone wishing to
take private lessons.

" I have been
taking lessons with Igor for the past 5 years and I can confidently say
that I have absolutely no regrets. During that time my skills as a musician
has improved immensely and a lot of that was due to Igor's comprehensive
lessons. The lessons themselves could be challenging at times but Igor was
always patient and allowed me to progress at my own pace while offering
tips on how I could improve. I would recommend anybody considering taking
saxophone lessons to look no further because lessons with Igor are the best
investment you can make for your playing regardless of whether you are a
beginner, intermediate or advanced musician.

in his teaching style.

“ 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, Thornhill
Woods. ”

a gifted and talented musician, but also a wonderful instructor whose

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.
Valery Malenkoff,
Aurora. ”

“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 !
Kevin Zhang ”

You’ll be happy to know that it was held today and both were
FANTASTIC ! Thank you so
much for sending them my way.
Again, I’m very grateful to
you…
Best regards,
