This month, we profiled Charles Lagond, founder of the seven-year-old Lagond Music School in Elmsford. How good is the school? You can hear some of his students’ performances below.
The Element, a band made up of Lagond students and alumni, has toured the country and sometimes even has Lagond guest perform. Check them out as they play Funk Jungle, Orange Sunset, and and Takin’ it Back at the Village Underground.
On YouTube, a number of the music school students talk about their experiences and what they have gained from enrolling in Lagond’s programs.
And lastly, be sure to watch Kid Creole & The Coconuts – the band in which Lagond formerly played the sax, popular in the 80s and 90s – here, here, and here.
