As a performing artist my ambition is to further establish the status of the saxophone in the 21st century through performance and the creation of new repertoire. As an educator I am passionate about working with students to encourage a deeper appreciation for what it is to be a musician. To me, cultivating student’s awareness of the connection between composer, performer, and listener is the key to promoting better music appreciation in our society. I invite you to review this site to familiarize yourself with who I am, and what I do. For any inquiries please feel free to contact me at info@mikekeepe.com. |

In June of this year I also started MLKEEPE Publications (ASCAP). My focus for this publishing company will be solely on concert saxophone music. A website is in the works and will be ready soon. |
My name is Michael Keepe. I am a concert saxophonist and educator who welcomes opportunities to perform, create new repertoire, and to work with those who wish to learn. I created this site to introduce myself as an artist, educator, and to offer an educational resource for students, teachers, and parents.
