Lagond Music 9 Haven Street, Elmsford, NY 10523

"I cannot recommend Lagond enough. Rosanne Lana and Charlie Lagond are two of the most supportive people I have ever met, and their positivity radiates out into the entire Lagond Community. I worked with numerous instructors during my time at Lagond, Nicky Barbato, Chris Anderson, Paul Maddison, Claire Cloud, and Kris Hayes. Each of them inspired me to both be a better musician and a better person every day when I came to class. All of my instructors were extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, enthusiastic, and encouraging. They fostered within me a deep love and curiosity for music and the music world. A Lagond education surrounds you with a supportive environment that gives you the skills to become a great musician, invaluable performing experiences, lifelong friends, and a deep appreciation for music of all kinds."

"My piano teacher, Rusty, has been one of the best piano teachers I’ve had. Not every teacher’s teaching style particularly resonated with me in the past, but the way that theory, soloing, and music is generally taught to me has been and continues to be extremely useful. I’ve found a massive improvement in my piano skills ever since I began lessons with Rusty, and I’m grateful beyond words. I thank Rusty for teaching me, being flexible and patient, and most of all, inspiring me to compose and play more often. All the kindness they have shown to me makes me feel safe to try new things every week. Thank you!!"

"I absolutely love Lagond and wish I knew about it much sooner! All the teachers are absolutely incredible and are excellent musicians and I feel so lucky to study voice with Claire Cloud and piano with Jon Swift. Also band with Paul Maddison is an absolute blast and I am beyond thankful to be learning so much here among my friends."

"Both as a student, and current instructor, I can honestly say that Lagond Music School is an integral part of the greater Westchester Arts community. Throughout the past 20+ years, Charlie & Rosanne have created a space for students to learn not just the traditions of American & Latin musical styles, but also have given them the intangible tools for how to perform this music at a high level and be the most professional of musicians. Their love for live performance has given so much joy to communities around the tri-state area (and beyond), and I cannot recommend this institution enough to anyone interested in advancing their musical skillset!"

"We love Lagond Music! Our son takes guitar and band lessons here and absolutely loves everyone he works with, teachers and students alike. When you sign up for a music lesson at Lagond you are going to get top notch instruction in a wide variety of genres and styles – and so much more! The school fosters creativity, professionalism, communication, organization, and collaboration. Our son has experienced tremendous growth, as a musician and as a person, thanks to Lagond. If your child has an interest in music, I highly recommend checking out Lagond!"
