Hi I’m Johnny Ferreira and I Want to be Your New Saxophone Teacher!
During my early years I studied with classical, jazz, blues and rock players. Each had their own unique perspective and each taught me a lot. My gigs went from weddings to bars to theaters and to big arenas.
If you love rock and roll, soulful, good swing and jumpin’ blues music then we already have a lot in common!
I’ve spent a few decades now doing a lot of gigs on stage with many top name acts and in the recording studio. My love for the saxophone is the reason why. I love to teach others to do the same so come along with me and learn to work that saxophone!
