About
Forty years with the horn
I am Mike Baz, a freelance saxophonist, performer, and educator based in Daly City, in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have been playing for forty years — in clubs, on festival stages, and on stages around the world.
Credits include work with the Bay Area reggae band Native Elements, which I joined in 2000, and shows in France. I also teach saxophone at my home studio in Daly City and online.
I play alto, tenor, soprano, and baritone saxophone. If you are booking a date or looking for lessons, I would be glad to hear from you.

Saxophone lessons
If you want to start the saxophone, get back into it, or take your playing further, we can build a lesson plan around your goals — at a pace that feels good.
Who I teach
Beginners through advanced players, kids and adults. You do not need to read music to start. If you already play, we will pick up from where you are.
What we work on
Lessons are tailored, but typically cover:
- Tone and breath
- Technique and fingerings
- Improvisation
- Jazz, reggae, and funk styles
- Reading music
- Doubling on alto, tenor, soprano, and baritone saxophone
