We asked Lessonface Teachers of the Year about their process and goals for 2025. Here are the responses of Willem Moolenbeek, our alto sax teacher of the year for 2024.
I was asked to comment on the importance of the role of teachers in the lives of their students. The following are responses to a series of interview-style questions answered by one of my former students, Sarah Anne Wolkowski, whom I taught from the age of 12 until she left for college. It was during that transition that our relationship evolved, as she became more of a mentee and I, her mentor. Sarah has crafted a career as an influential saxophonist, teacher and writer.
