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

My teaching experience dates back to when I was 17 years old working at a music conservatory for kids from elementary to college students teaching guitar, piano and trumpet. I taught fundamental ear training, private lessons, musical theory, and brass band group lessons. Throughout my 20 plus years of teaching In these music conservatory’s I have developed a method of teaching for the student that is personally adapted for each student to make them better players professionally or for fun.

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

When I think about a student learning wintry to put myself in there shoes. They want to feel like they have something to show for the time that they were the class session. . if we have an hour session and at the end of the session they can go out and show off what they learned then they will. It be as motivated to come back.... So my method is to teach them while at the same time giving a practical aspect where they have something that can show and practice to develop the skill learned in the proviso session. 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

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I made the decision in high school, and I have stuck to it since. Now, where I am now is not how I envisioned it then (I thought I would be playing guitar in a band), but my life has always been about chasing musical fulfillment. Meeting different people, discovering different styles, being exposed to different musical cultures has all had a hand in shaping where I am today, but the central idea of music has been, and will always be constant.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Professional music doesn't run in my family, but my parents always had music in the house. On my mother's side, my grandfather loved to sing and play guitar, and my grandmother was a dancer. My father's parents were in a travelling Baptist gospel band, which had me raised on folk music. My mother loves to sing, my father is constantly listening to new music. My siblings all play something in the way they see most fulfilling, my sisters are signers and dancers, and my brothers play guitar and drums. I'm the only one who is a professional, but I'm far from the only musician.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started on saxophone, and kept playing even after switching to bassoon because I wanted to stay involved in jazz band. In college, I continued even further with jazz band and had instruction on flute and clarinet, because some of the music we played called for doubling. A lot of my freelance work at this time was playing in pit orchestras for musicals, which also require multiple instruments for one person, so I developed a level of comfort on woodwind instruments.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be working with animals in some way! My favorite non-musical job I worked was taking care of the pets in a pet store, and I especially love taking care of birds. I've owned all sorts of pets, and help take care of even more, and I love all of the quirks that come with each species and how differently they interact with everything around them.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite to play is classical, because that is what I'm trained to do best. I feel very at home and comfortable sitting in an orchestra, and it is an excellent outlet for my instrument to function in. Because of my time spent playing in classical orchestras, I've developed a deep love for the music played by them, and feel like I'm contributing to a long history.
I also love playing jazz, and specifically improvising, for the exact opposite reasons. There's a methodology to improvising, but so much of it is personal and only exists in the moment, and I think that's really beautiful and fun.
