Larry De La Cruz

I started saxophone in the 5th grade and studied music through college. Music has been my greatest love since I was a small child. As a professional musician I have played in many different settings covering many different styles and genres of music. I have always appreciated the variety of experiences in my journey with music.

I began teaching music to elementary students while I was in Middle School. Teaching and performing go hand in hand, and they inform and support each other. Currently, I have students of many different ages and abilities at my studio at Danville Music in Danville, CA.
