Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
For my keyboard students, I like to start with like bit of music theory and learn to read musical notes and proceed to closing warm up exercise and solo repertoire according to their level and interests. For my voice students, I typically focus on their genre of music and teaching their goal in singing. Depending on their goal or focus, I will introduce vocal exercise and techniques although most techniques are good to use in any kind of singing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Synthesizer Electric Violin Fiddle
I am an energetic, fun-loving instructor with an excellent musical intuition and a passion for motivating students to appreciate the many extra-musical perspectives that music brings to the table. I hold the notion that music can enhance countless other parts of your life, and can lead to a better understanding of the world and people around us. I am also a firm believer in technology as a tool to enhance music, and incorporate it into my work with notation software and performative technology (HCI). Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet Music
I aim to help students enjoy practicing, whatever level they are at. This means lessons will be tailored to each student's interest, while still following a structured progression to help them gradually advance. All students will be guided through long tones, scales, technical studies, etudes, and solo pieces. Students at higher levels may also include orchestral excerpts. We will also discuss how to properly warm up the body and breath, so that practicing can be as healthy as possible and not result in any injuries or discomfort. 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

Instruments: Piano Voice
I had two girls who loved to act and really wanted to be in the musical but had never sung a note. We worked every day after school for two weeks before auditions. I ended up casting them as Cinderella's Stepsisters. Their song was nominated for a Jester Award (astate-wide theatre awards program for Kansas High Schools) forBest Production Number. Their reaction when they heard was priceless. I enjoy getting to know my students and understand how their brains work. Read More
Instruments: Drums Music
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Playing the drums is a lot like tapping your head and rubbing your belly at the same time. Most people can't do it at first but if you practice it you can master it.
Playing drums requires control and independence of movement, and only practice can get you there, however, practice is not about playing what you're good at. In fact, effective practice means practicing what needs work. If you practice and find that everything you're you play sounds perfect, then you are not practicing at all. Challenge yourself daily and understand that practice is the time you spend learning the lessons your instructor teaches you, including new concepts, methods, and new techniques, which means you may struggle at first. The sound may not be great but that's your brain and body working together to "figure out this puzzle".
I always tell my students to "practice slowly". Just like tapping your head and rubbing your belly, practicing slowly gives your brain a chance to process everything you're body is doing. It helps to make the necessary mind/body connections to build muscle memory. Once you build that memory, the next challenge is a bit easier to handle.
Take a break during your practice time. You'll find when you come back after 5-10-15 minutes that you will execute the lesson with far more precision than before.
CREATE A SPACE
It's important to create an area in your home that you dedicate as your practice space. Hold it sacred. Keep your sticks, books, and practice pad (or drum set) set up and ready to go on a moment's notice. Practice everyday. If you don't have the time or energy one day, that's ok. We all have those moments. But DO pick up the sticks for 5-minutes, hold them in your hands and, if so inclined, practice one short exercise.
STAY CONNECTED TO YOUR INSTRUMENT
Stay connected to your instrument. Avoid distractions during practice sessions. Turn off your phone/TV. Close the door behind you and dedicate a minimum of 30-minutes a day, everyday. Practice makes perfect.
Also, it's important to have fun. Don't stress over practicing. Keep a positive attitude, and know that you are getting better everyday. Sometimes progress will be quick while others a bit slower. You may master one technique in a matter of days, weeks, or months, while other techniques require a lifetime of practice.
They say it takes 10,000 hours be an expert at something. There's no time like the present. Start now!
