Take your saxophone playing to the next level through personalized coaching as well as insights and encouragement from a community of like-minded saxophonists!
Have you ever thought...
“I wish I had the confidence to be able to play any song I want, at home or on stage, and have FUN in the process!"
“I love playing saxophone but sometimes I feel like I'm in a rut - I wish I knew more saxophonists that I could talk with and draw inspiration from."
“I’ve spent tons of time practicing scales, etudes, and other exercises, but I still don't sound as good as I want.”
Hi, I'm Dave Pollack!
I'm a saxophonist who has toured and performed all around the world, but more importantly I'm an educator dedicated to helping enthusiastic musicians achieve their goals by showing a clear, concise, and simple path to saxophone success.
Learning the saxophone can feel pretty daunting at first, and trust me - I know because I WAS THERE. I know exactly what it's like to say "how do I get that professional saxophone sound?" "How can I translate the ideas I have in my head to the saxophone?"
After years and years of trial (and lots of!) error, I've figured out simple but powerful and effective ways to play anything I want (and have fun doing it!) on the saxophone, and here's the best part - I've been teaching it to saxophonists (just like you) all around the world with some fantastic results.
Here's what some people are saying...

“ I watched the free masterclass yesterday. Awesome! That is by far the best approach to mastering improvising that I've come across in the four years that I've been playing saxophone. Thanks a lot!”
Sharilynn said:
“Thank you so much for the time invested in creating this material! The game changer for me was the manner in which you presented and demonstrated the technique. Having you walk us through every step with your exceptional playing, was the key for me to know how to apply this and why it will help. This time, all of my questions were answered and my reservations were relieved. Thank you, again!”
Kim said:
“Thanks for your great voice leading/melodic lines video. It's really well thought out, methodical, logical, and very well presented. Thanks for your cheerful, positive, encouraging manner, and the examples of your own terrific playing.”
I've learned something...
Most people go through some free content or an online course and try to figure out the rest on their own.
When they start asking (really good) questions like:
- There are so many things to work on - what should I actually be practicing?
- I'm losing motivation - how can I get that enthusiasm back?
- How do I actually develop that professional saxophone sound?
- I'm so confused...what are the best exercises to learn different techniques like altissimo, growling, articulation, and others?
- I can hear what I want to play in my head, but why can't I translate that to the saxophone?
...they don't know who to turn to!
Sure, there are countless online forums and groups that discuss saxophone playing, but the amount of conflicting information, inflated egos, and overall toxicity make them practically useless, and as a result you end up feeling even more overwhelmed than you already were. That's why I created...
The Saxophone Success Community
The Saxophone Success Community is...
A subscription-based online learning community where you will receive personalized coaching and feedback, direct access to me, a supportive community of like-minded saxophonists who give trusted feedback and musical inspiration, monthly masterclasses, and much more.
Even though there will be new content available every month, you don't have to worry about feeling overwhelmed! I know this is one of the biggest drawbacks to learning online, so in the Saxophone Success Community you can take your time and pick and choose exactly what you want to work on.
Is the Saxophone Success Community a good choice for YOU?
This community is perfect for you, if you...
- want to be part of a community of like-minded saxophonists
- want to receive personalized coaching and feedback about your playing
- feel overwhelmed by all of the information available online
- want consistent coaching through focused masterclasses
- want the confidence to play any song
- want direct access to ask me all of your saxophone questions
- want to confidently perform at a jam session, gig, or just with tracks at home
Check out some of the great things you'll enjoy inside The Saxophone Success Community:
Monthly Masterclasses
Each month there will be a new video masterclass that focuses on a specific topic related to the saxophone, each complete with downloadable PDFs. The best part? YOU have a say in what masterclasses I create!
Monthly Live Q&A Coaching Calls
In this monthly live call, you'll have direct access to ask me questions to help customize your saxophone journey! As with all content, it will be archived so you can watch whenever you want (which is great if you can't make the call live). This community is the ONLY place where you can get all of your questions answered by me and get specific personalized coaching.
Personalized Feedback
Having consistent and personalized feedback on your playing is one of the biggest reasons this community exists, and inside SSC you can receive it whenever and as often as you want! Whether it's something you're working on, the Song of the Month, or anything else, you can ask not only me but the whole community for specific feedback!
Songs of the Month
Each month a new song (or songs!) will be selected for the community to work on, complete with a detailed analysis and performance by me, PDF download for the sheet music, and .mp3 download for the backing track. I will break the tune down and simplify it so you aren't confused and overwhelmed. Don't worry, there's no homework with this - work on it as much or as little as you want! I'll be here to help guide you along throughout each month.
Special Guest Masterclass Presenters
Some months will feature masterclasses by special guest saxophonists, which means you'll be learning from the greatest educators and performers I know. They will also appear on some live Q&A calls, so you can ask your saxophone heroes questions directly!
A Supportive Community
Sometimes learning saxophone (or really any instrument) can feel like a lonely endeavor, so in The Saxophone Success Community you'll be part of a group of like-minded saxophonists who are ready to help you achieve your musical goals and inspire your love of the saxophone! You can chat about gear, what you've been practicing, your favorite saxophonists, or anything else you want!
...plus some amazing bonuses!
Bonus #1
"Strictly Major" PDF and lesson video that teaches you how to truly learn and apply the most important technique out there - the major scale!
Bonus #2
PDF transcriptions and recordings of many of my own solos! You will be able to download both the sheet music and audio files to these solos as well as watch the original videos they came from.
So you might be wondering what the investment is for the Saxophone Success Community, right?
Well, for this amount of coaching in 1-on-1 lessons with me you'd have to spend over $400 per month.
Also, to get this amount of ongoing saxophone training in a classroom setting (which isn't nearly as personalized as this) you'd have to enroll in a college course, which would be $1,000+ per month.
Add to that the large amount of expensive online lessons and small courses out there (that barely scratch the surface of what you'll learn in this ongoing community) and you'll see that the value of this is incredibly high and this community is a no-brainer, so check this out.
You won't pay $1,000 per month. You won't even pay $100 per month.
The price for all of this personalized coaching, content, and community is just $87 per month.
...but that is the price it will be in the future.
Right now, the price for all of this is only $32 per month!
That's right - about $1 per day!

Louis said:
“Okay, this one was really fun for me. I sang my ideas first before playing on my horn, which really helped me do a better call and response. Definitely getting more interesting as you add more complexity to the chord structure in some ways it's almost easier to solo over. Thanks Dave really enjoying the peace and structure of the program.”
Kathy said:
“I think it is excellent. The look of the lesson and the platform is very accessible. You are engaging and informative. Not overly complicated in your explanations - even I get it! I like that you took a different approach to listening and applying in the opening section. I even used it in my band class yesterday with beginning improvisers. Made it much easier to think in terms of rhythmic improv rather than volume of notes.”
Don't forget: it's completely risk free!
