Saxophone Lessons Raleigh County, NC

Instruments: Piano, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Recorder, Piccolo, Mallet Percussion, Music, Keyboard

My teaching experience dates back to when I was still in high school. I would go to middle schools and give lessons. Now as a college music graduate, I have taught many ages including college peers. I think it is important to teach skills and methods that will help the student problem-solve and continue to learn even when they are alone. My students have done well in auditions and chair tests, and I always encourage both recitals and competitions. Read More

I am percussionist, composer and educator, Larry Q. Draughn Jr. I've been "banging on stuff" and trying to understand rhythm for most of my life. The first 16 years of my journey were self taught and the past 13 have been supplemented with formalized training. I've shared the stage with greats like Jimmy Heath, Branford Marsalis, Joey Calderazzo, and Christian McBride to name a few. My gift has and is taking me all around the world. Read More

I have taught private Drum Major lessons and high school clinics to young students across Western and Central North Carolina. During the summer of 2019, I was honored to be an instructor at the Lenoir-Rhyne Youth Summer Music Camp, where I taught musicianship/theory and woodwinds. I currently student teach for partial fulfillment for my Master's degree at Hickory High School (Hickory, NC). I have held previous positions of visual caption head and drum major technician at Marvin Ridge High School in Waxhaw, NC. Read More

For beginning students, I start with the Essential Elements book. If the student has already taken lessons or is in their school band/orchestra, I encourage moving onto the Rubank Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced method books depending on ability. Once a student has proven that they are able to handle it, I will start on solo repertoire. Particularly for college-bound musicians who wish to major in music, the majority of their lessons will be based on preparing solo literature for All District or college auditions. Read More

My name is Tae, a recent graduate of the Florida State University, known for our phenomenal college of music programs and I am excited and enthusiastic to share my passion for music with future students whom have either just started their instrument, have currently been playing at an intermediate level, or just want a couple of lessons to get a second opinion on their musicianship. I have been playing saxophone for the past 11 years of my life and the past 4 years at the collegiate level. Read More
