Saxophone Lessons By One Of Virginia's Most Intuitive Jazz Saxophonists. For Intermediate To Advanced Students

Once you have a clear concept of how to play the saxophone, your experience playing the horn will be a happier and more satisfying one. That is the beauty of music, you never stop learning.

I occasionally get mature students who come to me after having played for a good while or even a lifetime, who are dissatisfied and frustrated with their playing. In most cases I am able to help such students.

Bucky can help you achieve your goals....

Old Timers Still Got It
-by Cyrus Waters

Over the past several years, I’ve been pleased to notice how many “old
timers” remain active in the Shenandoah Valley music scene. When I first
moved to Strasburg, I saw a small ad in the local paper that mentioned a
“Blue Grass Jam” at the local American Legion. Being a fan of bluegrass, I
decided to head over and check things out. Well, the place was packed, and
there were at least 10 performers onstage, all jamming out on some old time
favorites. They had fiddlers, banjos, a stand up bass, mandolin player, and
of course the ubiquitous guitarists all lined up onstage, and everybody was
clearly having a good ol' time for themselves. The players would take turns
on leading the songs, and the crowd was very responsive and involved.

After looking around, I began to notice that many of the performers were “of
a certain age”, but nothing was going to slow them down from what I could
see. The best thing about being a musician is that, unlike sports figures,
you can continue to grow old, and still perform at the peak of your skills.
In fact, many of the musicians we grew up listening to are still performing
on stages throughout the world. Like fine wine, musicians seem to only get
better with age.

A few months ago, I was fortunate to run into one such player, who’s musical
resume was quite extensive and equally impressive. Bucky Clark has been
playing the saxophone since he was just a 12- year old kid, and in his 40
odd years of performing, he’s covered more ground than many of us can
imagine.

Jazz, Blues, Swing, Rock, even Country, Bucky Clark does it all, and he does
it with flair and style. His musical education has been a long road, as he
jokingly makes reference to his many stops in “at least 8 or 9 colleges
along the way”. Among these was a stint at the famed Berklee College of
Music in Boston, Shenandoah Music Conservatory, James Madison University,
Virginia Commonwealth University, as well as the Army Element School of
Music in Norfolk, VA. His live experiences have been equally varied, having
played stages from New York City to Boston and now, right here in the
Shenandoah Valley.

Bucky does more than just play sax however. He’s the consummate showman,
who knows how to get a crowd to sit up and take notice. His unique style
and broad ranging musical background assures the listener that they’re at
the right place, at the right time. In short, he just makes it fun to be
there.

In addition to playing out at select area venues, Bucky also teaches
saxophone in his Waynesboro home. He’s been able to help even the more
experienced saxophonists to improve their playing, and always welcomes
beginners too. If you’re planning a wedding, graduation or any special
occasion, and you’d like to spice things up with a high caliber musician who
can keep your guests’ attention, give him a call at 540-943-2802, or just

Ron Newsome

Ron Newsome, Drummer/Percussionist, and native of Philadelphia, grew up in a musical household Influenced by his Mother, a professional dancer, and his Father’s mastery of the guitar, lead to his love of percussion. Rhythm and music was a theme that began to take shape for him early on. Playing drums came naturally for Ron, who started at the age of 6 on oatmeal boxes and by the age of 10, he was playing on every piece on furniture in the house. His parents realized that buying a set of drums was not an option, if they wanted to save the rest of the furniture in the house. Ron inherited those artistic genes and by 14 years of age had his own band and bookings.

As a teenager, he studied with private instructors for many years, learning the basics to advanced techniques, and took majors in music in High School and College.

Ron is a “band” drummer. He possesses the social and musical skills necessary to glue a musical group together. He has been a member of, and, led many successful bands with his supportive professional attitude. One of the most successful Top 40 bands was "Sound Trek", which played all throughout Philadelphia for 10 years straight. After that, he played his way to Florida and joined the South West Florida Jazz Society where he had an opportunity to play and learn Jazz from many of the retired greats from the TV industry. Now a resident of Central Virginia, he brings his wealth of experience to a musically rich area.

"My ultimate goal", says Ron, "is to attain a level the likes of Buddy Rich, Art Blakey, and Anton Fig" "These legends not only could make drums swing, they could make them sing. "He further states: "I’ve been playing for many years but as I've often said: 'there’s always something new to learn'. I feel a good musician never finds complacency, never stops leaning; there's always room for improvement. "
