Here are some kind words from Mr Alan Sypert, the instrumental music director at American Canyon High School.
"Keith Ridenhour is an amazing musician, but an even better educator. His love for what he does is contagious, his energy and devotion to his art form grabs his students by the ears and pulls them along though an incredible learning experience. I've seen him captivate a room full of kids, I've seen him work one on one with a student and impact the way they approach their instrument in such a fundamental way that everything else they do on the horn is improved. Keith is a masterful teacher who's personality and musical talent would be a welcome addition to any students music learning experience.

Exciting News in 2013. I am a doing a sax clinic for the Napa Jazz Festival at the Napa Valley Community College for all the high school Sax participants in the Festival.
Also I'll be running an open jam session at the Napa Opera House from 6 to 9 Saturday May 4th. Of course all are welcome. Dust off your horn and come on down.
On a Regular Basis
I am a consultant at the Marin School of the Arts in Novato. I coach the Combos, teach privately and help Rebecca Delisio with the 3rd Jazz Big Band. I am also helping out Mike at Napa High School and sometimes I help out Alan Sypert at American Canyon High School.
I perform with the Jami Jamison band (swing/blues/jazz), The Whiskey Thieves (orginal rock), The Joe Chaplan band, The Sue Albano band and the Milestones Concert band.
You can catch me at the Sonoma Convalescent Hospital every Monday from 10 to 1130 . My students and I jam to music from the 20s, 30s, 40, 50s and 60s. We
