We believe that art is a combination of self-expression, exploration, and a journey of discovery. Our faculty is dedicated to developing our students' artistic potential through careful guidance and mentorship. Russell Lacy Music is devoted to helping students become the best musicians they can be. We focus exclusively on teaching music, and understand that it has two parts: craft and art. Our faculty has the expertise and commitment to craft to ensure that every student has a strong foundation.

Private Music Lessons

Private lessons form the core of Russell Lacy Music. All lessons are one-on-one with one of our university-educated instructors and dedicated to strengthening the student's foundation by focusing on reading, theory, and technique as well as developing repertoire. We use method books as a framework to introduce new concepts, while giving students the freedom to play music that inspires them most. All our teachers bring a passion for music to every lesson. Learning to perform before an audience is an important component of music education. We strongly encourage all students to develop two contrasting pieces to perform at the annual recital in late May — a technical etude and a piece they select from their own repertoires.

Ensembles

Our ensemble program matches up students of similar age and ability, allowing them to create music in a group setting. Adult students are welcome to participate in our adult band program. Instructors guide the bands as they choose songs and rehearse material while learning to listen and work cooperatively. The semester-long program culminates with one of the highlights of the semester — a performance by all the bands at a local venue! We offer this program in the fall and spring for the entire semester. In the summer, we offer intensive band camps, including include a full week of band rehearsals to prepare for a final performance.

Workshops

Workshops are in a small group format and offer a unique opportunity to expand on topics covered in private lessons. Faculty teach in their areas of expertise, exploring topics such as improvisation, music theory, composition, and background singing. Workshops are most often single sessions, but in some cases, they are two or three meetings. The workshop offerings are emailed out to all current students.
