Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been around nearly every popular piano series and I think each one is has some solid areas. With beginners I like to pick and choose from different books, the primary lesson book being chosen once I meet the student and get a feel for how quickly they are going to progress. Reading music and counting are both so very important if you want to be a successful musician, which means they are the foundation of all my lessons. 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 Keyboard
In the technical area I generally start with the Bastien or Alfred Series of Method Books. The student will lean to incorporate the technical and artistic to understand piano music especially can elicit different feelings. I take what the student is interested in music wise in order as a teaching tool. Also, I am incorporating in person and virtual lessons as we know the world has changed and we have found there are different ways to a great outcome. Read More
Instruments: Piano
What drives my passion for teaching is the collaborative atmosphere and those "a-ha!" moments when a lightbulb goes off. Learning is all about the act of discovery, and I facilitate students in finding their natural love of music. I challenge students to approach problems from all angles to help them understand music on a deeper level. Recognizing and rewarding every small improvement helps the student gain confidence, which in the long run makes for better musicianship. Read More

I have taught students ranging in age from five to eighty-five, and am always happy to adjust my teaching style accordingly to meet the particular needs of the particular student. I am a friendly and personable fellow who loves to teach, and always try to ensure that this comes through in my approach to teaching. Read More

I have been performing with school choirs since middle school and sang in both Guilford College choir and treble chamber choir called Lumina. In addition to that, I have had the opportunity to travel to many states in the US and sang in congregations. 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!
