  In his debut album, LIMINAL, saxophonist Edward Goodman performs the music of John Anthony Lennon, Joan Tower, William Bolcom, Daniel Asia, and Pierre Boulez.The objective for this project was to produce an album that included new works by award winning composers that I believe are shaping the way the saxophone is viewed as a medium for contemporary music, and repertoire that reflects my musical identity.

  More info

  In a very powerful tribute to saxophonist Eric Domanico, 40 saxophonists from around the world, including myself, honor Eric in an emotional, beautiful demonstration of community while raising awareness for mental health. Eric had been battling mental illness for years and the isolation of the lockdown proved too much for him, committing suicide during the summer. Eric was a student of my good friend and colleague, Jeff Siegfried at West Virginia University. This video is a part of The Eric Domanico Foundation. Its mission is to raise awareness for mental health and supporting young artists with the resources and financial assistance for obtaining mental health care and music to cultivate and express their talents.

  More info

  Solos for Young Saxophonist is a YouTube channel master series which features performances from: H. Voxman’s Concert and Contest Collection for Eb Alto Saxophone, Bruce Pearson and Mary Elledge’s Standard of Excellence Festival Solos, and Larry Teal’s Solos for the Alto Saxophone Player.This is a common collection of repertoire performed by saxophonist in Middle School and High School. Music teachers often refer their students to YouTube as a musical reference. However, videos demonstrating musical excellence tend to be rather scarce. It is my hope that these videos will serve as professional representations for these works for young saxophonist all over the world. Previously, this series made use of the music program SmartMusic, a program that served as a "backing track" to accompany the performer. I am currently updating my series so that the videos are of me performing with a pianist rather than speakers, serving as a more professional and more accurate representation of a live performance.
