B.Music
Joel is a saxophonist, pianist, and woodwind doubler based in Toronto. Joel uses his experience in many different genres of music, from jazz, classical, and pop, in his teaching. He helps his students by focusing on the fundamentals of playing their instrument, theory, and reading, along with lots of learning by ear! Developing a strong foundation with the ear allows greater freedom for students to determine the kinds of songs they want to learn. It helps them in the future if they become interested in improvisation and composing/songwriting.
Joel has started to make his name as a performer around the city at many venues including, Jazz Bistro, The Rex, The Emmet Ray, Drom Taberna, and Koerner Hall. Joel has had the opportunity at Humber College and on the scene to perform with brilliant musicians like Davide Virelles, Ingrid Jensen, Lorne Lofsky, and Mike Downes. In July 2024, Joel released a short EP of his original compositions in a quartet with Sam Dickinson, Mike Downes, and Mateo Mancuso, and plans on releasing more music soon!
