ABOUT
Toronto born saxophonist who found a passion for music and teaching at an early age. As a student at Fisherville Junior High and Newtonbrook Secondary School, Josh gained experience performing and teaching fellow students saxophone techniques.
At the University of Windsor, Josh trained his skills to be a respected and professional musician. In university, he found that being skilled in more then one genre of music greatly benefited his education. Jazz had developed skills that classical training had not, and opposite that.
