Saxophone and Piano Lessons by Dr. Nicolas Lira

As a music teacher, Dr. Nicolas Lira seeks to help his students discover their own love of music. Students build an appreciation for the breadth of musical styles that grace the world, past and present, through playing, listening, and discussion. His goal is that they appreciate the positive effects music can have on their lives as a performer, listener, and an audience member.

He offers 30, 45, and 60 minute lessons in saxophone, clarinet, and piano. Lessons consist of exercises to develop tone and technique, as well as learning repertoire and developing musicality. Other skills and topics include improvisation, listening, and music theory. He teaches classical, popular, and jazz styles. Dr. Lira taught homeschool students in Kansas, before moving to North Carolina in 2018.
