About
Good Day! My name is Curtis Mayfield Harvey Jr! I’m here to give students the best experience they can get with a private saxophone teacher.
Even better, I’m willing to travel to you! I currently teach in the Raleigh, Durham, Clayton, and Garner areas. I am fully vaccinated and also offer the option of remote lessons for those outside of my current travel radius or those who do not feel comfortable with in person lessons currently.
I’ve been in love with music my entire life and have spent more than 30 years playing different instruments across the spectrum, but 25 years specifically specializing in different versions of the saxophone.
My current focus is beginning students that are between the ages of 8-13 but I’m open to all ages that can comfortably hold a saxophone, adults included. Check out the about me section for more information about my teaching styles and methodology.
Send me a message and let's get your student signed up!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When I work with a student, I focus on Music Theory and History, sight reading, playing by ear, fingering technique, a long with sound and tone. The bases of the book portion of my lessons are from “Tradition of Excellence” music books that are standard in many elementary and middle school bands, so your child will receive additional practice and support on their musical journey. In addition a fair amount of it will be based on the tricks and tips I’ve learned and picked up from my years of playing.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
25 years specifically specializing in different versions of the saxophone. Tenor is the primary sax I play, but I also play Alto and Soprano.
