Christopher Best spent five years in the Miami-Dade County public
school system as a Director of Bands at the high school level. He holds
both Bachelors and Masters degrees in Music Education from Florida
International University.
As Director of Bands, he was responsible
for organizing a wide range of band-related activities and events.
Music instructors have received intensive training in music theory,
which studies the structure of music and how it works. They must also
have highly developed aural skills, which is the singing part of music
theory that trains the ear. A multi-instrumentalist, Christopher Best
plays saxophone, flute, clarinet, and the piano.
He has also been teaching saxophone privately since 2008, working with students of all ages. Some of his students have been with him for many years. The level of proficiency on the sax, of course, depends largely on the time and effort that the student puts in to it. One of the things all students need to master is called embouchure. Strictly speaking, this refers to the way the mouth is applied to the instrument’s mouthpiece. Some consider this too narrow a definition, however, arguing that embouchure really refers to the whole system of making music: not only the mouth, but all the facial muscles, as well as the throat. Since everyone is physically different, each musician is going to have a unique embouchure.
Christopher Best is also a saxophonist with the Greater Miami Symphonic Band, a volunteer music ensemble that performs at venues throughout South Florida.
