About Lilly Tague

Hello, and welcome! My name is Lilly Tague, I teach Trumpet, Voice, French Horn, and Piano. Music Education is a protected part of each child's education. That being said, every child has the right to learn music. Music provides the opportunity to help students develop into responsible members of society using creativity, expression, collaboration, discipline, and problem solving.

I first began studying Trumpet in sixth-grade band. During high school I performed with Coastal Surge Drum and Bugle Corps(2014), and the SC Region 4 Honor Band(2015-2016). I also won consecutive Superiors for both Ensemble and Solo performances in Solo and Ensemble(2011-2016). I began studying voice in the sixth-grade as well, at Rollings Middle School of the arts (2009-2012), and later at Fort Dorchester High School (2012-2016)

I then attended Newberry College which provided me with lots of opportunities to perform and improve my playing. Throughout college I performed with the Newberry College Jazz Combo(2016), Newberry College Jazz Band featuring Delfeayo Marsalis(2017), Newberry College Singers(2017), Newberry College Chamber Orchestra(2017-2020), Newberry College Brass Ensemble(2017-2020), Newberry College Wind Ensemble(2016-2021), and the Newberry College Scarlet Spirit Marching Band(2016-2020). I also performed three times with the SCMEA Intercollegiate Honor Band(2018-2020).

Post undergrad, I perform regularly at my Alma Mater alongside Ms. Wanda Neese, and at several local churches.
