About Christopher D'Allura

Greetings! My name is Christopher D’Allura and I am one of the saxophone/clarinet instructors at Music & Arts in Concord, North Carolina. Allow me to tell you a little bit about myself:

I have been teaching clarinet and saxophone lessons at Music & Arts since June 2018. I was born and raised in New York and started my musical journey in 3rd grade, in which I started to play trumpet. It was in 4th grade that I thought that the saxophone looked like a cool instrument to play, so I switched, and have played saxophone ever since! In 8th grade, I decided to take up clarinet so that I would be allowed more performing opportunities in high school. 

I attended college at the Crane School of Music in SUNY Potsdam (State University of New York) in which I studied with world renowned saxophonist, Christopher Creviston. It was here that I obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education after completing my student teaching in elementary general music/chorus and middle school band in Newburg, New York. 

In May of 2012, my wife and I moved to North Carolina, where we began our careers as teachers. I served as the Band Director at Eastway Middle School in Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools from August 2013 to June 2023. After that, I served as the Band/Choir director at Christ The King Catholic High School in Huntersville, North Carolina from August 2023 until May 2025. In August, I will assume a new role as the Band Director at St. Mark Catholic School in Huntersville, NC. 

My wife and I currently reside in the Charlotte suburbs where are raising three wonderful boys: Michael, Christopher Jr. and Daniel. 

I look forward to working with you and your child on this fun musical journey!
