  School Philosophy | About Charlie Lagond | Faculty & Guests

Lagond Music believes that musicians need to be challenged. Sitting in your room diligently practicing only brings you so far. It is the opportunity of taking the skills learned in private lessons then applying them in environments where you are playing with other musicians, giving your music a sense of style as well as a visual interpretation then sharing it with an audience who gets it, respects it, feels your passion and becomes uplifted by the music you play. We believe that is when real joy and fulfillment occur.

Lagond Music also believes in challenging your fellow musicians and audience, giving them what they are comfortable with, taking them out of their world and bringing them into yours. Music can affect its listeners at many different levels. It can inspire, energize, comfort and open up minds. This is why we instill in our students the obligation to share this talent with others.

This unique musical experience is achieved by exposing serious music students to intensive instruction and hands-on clinics with contemporary masters. Students will also rehearse with and perform with professional musicians, partake in frequent field trips to hear various well-known and up-and-coming artists, self-evaluate their work through video and audio demos, and then culminate all of these experiences with real-world performance opportunities.

The Result -- The cultivation of sophisticated musicians with a passion for their craft and the confidence to achieve their goals.
