The saxophone is one of the most versatile instruments in the history of Western music, and students at Lamont have the opportunity to explore a wealth of styles and traditions. Graduates of our saxophone studio leave with the skills, repertoire and historical understanding necessary to work at a professional level.
Lamont's saxophone studio is led by Arthur Bouton, a first-call saxophone and woodwind performer known throughout the United States. He has extensive performance experience on all saxophones, flutes, clarinets and bassoon, as well as the Akai Electronic Wind Instrument (EWI). Bouton is founder and Director of the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra and regularly performs with the Colorado Symphony, Colorado Ballet and Opera Colorado.
