Are we right for you?


Serving the Triad since 2006, we are the Triad’s leading learn and perform music school. We focus on teaching music as a language. Music is enjoyed and experienced by listening and hearing.  Music, just like language, is used to communicate stories and feelings and express ourselves. We feel everyone has the voice to express themselves.  When given the right tools and the right instruction and encouragement anyone can communicate effectively and proficiently through the language of music. Come talk to us to find out more about expressing yourself through music!

Meet The Director

Donnie Wright was born in Greensboro, North Carolina. His background is in 50’s rock and bluegrass music. He started playing guitar around age 14 and excelled with a passion for music. He has a wonderful family including his beautiful wife, Deborah, three beautiful girls, and two awesome grandchildren. He formed Highland North Music in 2006 and is the General Manager and Events Coordinator of the main facility.
He is a graduate of Liberty University where he acquired a BA in Interdisciplinary Education and a Masters in Music Education.
He built HNM with the importance of teaching the most fundamental element of music: FUN! “If what you are doing is not “FUN”, then “WHY” do it at all!” He believes anyone can learn music easily and in the same short time that a child takes to learn their first language; normally in just three to four years, without complicated theory nor the ability to read music! He believes music is a vital source for learning and should be regarded by every school as a core subject throughout the twelve years of education. He believes that music must become a normal part of every child’s education process.
