Meet the Team

Denise and Jay met on the stage of a jazz festival as freelance musicians, and combined his sultry saxophone (Jay served in the US Army Band) and her versatile vocals (Denise performed at Carnegie Hall) to form a unique and marketable sound, grow an extensive repertoire of songs that spanned the Big Band era to the pop music scene, and form their first business together, the SaxyDuo in 1996. They both still play professionally today. 

 

The next chapter included a wedding, a new home, and a family of 4 talented children! As busy parents of three sons and one daughter, they leveraged the equity in their home to open a musical instrument retail store and music education center, Middletown Music. The next thirteen years were dedicated to raising their family together with a phenomenal staff, incredibly talented instructors, and a beloved network of clients. Twice a year, they had the privilege and traveling around the country to trade shows with 4 kids in tow, and meeting and serving legendary artists from around the globe. The music education center grew, as did the band instrument rental program, and the culture of promoting a lifelong love of learning through the universal language of music was impacting lives beyond expectation.
