5/5 stars December 13, 2011
Chris taught me how to play Banjo for 6 months. He is really patient and he enjoys what he is doing.
He is so knowledgeable with the instruments. What I like most about him is that he encourages me, and he makes sure that he is giving the lessons at a correct manner.
He's learning for instrument is knowledge base also. He can assess you right away, and the lesson is not just for one size fits all. I would surely recommend him. Even if you're a beginner, he will teach you well that it wont' waste both your money and time. It's great Banjo lessons.– Linda
Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Obviously knowing what you want to get out of studying the guitar is essential. The next step is to seeking out a teacher who is not only skilled in the area you are looking for (the blues, metal, etc.), but who is also skilled as an educator and a communicator. Experience is a big plus, and so is training.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. A lot of guitar teachers work with their student only on learning songs. After learning 100 songs does the student know how to figure out a song on their own?
My teaching method is more "If you teach a man to fish" than "give a man a fish". A general overview of functional music theory, as well as the elements of contemporary styles can go a long way to helping you memorize your favorite songs, or even begin to write your own!
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. I love teaching guitar to a beginner because I get to shape how they approach learning good practice habits. It's not always hard to "teach an old dog new tricks", but it can take time to unlearn certain ways of practicing and learning that can be blocking your progress as a musician.
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. Q: Will you travel to my home?
A: Yes!
Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?
A. I took guitar lessons as a teenager, and as soon as I could teach myself songs and theory I started teaching my friends. From there people started asking me if they could study with me and began developing personal curriculum for each individual based on the skills they needed to acquire.
Q. What are your most common types of jobs?
A. Housecalls. Most people enjoy the convenience of learning in the comfort of their own home. Having access to all your instruments, books, recording tools and accessories can be helpful.
Q. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?
A. I am an active performer throughout the northeastern United States. Staying connected to what's current in music is easy for me because I'm involved with it every day. Often when I'm not performing or teaching, I get a chance to check out some great venues in New York. I also regularly read up in all the latest music related publications and trade magazines.

I had on and off lessons with Chris for a year now. As you get older, it's difficult to learn something brand new. I was interested in learning on how to play the Bass.
When I found Chris's name on the internet, I called him, and I had Bass Guitar lessons with him. He is just a great guy, he made my bass very doable. He made it fun. He incorporated music and the things that you love in the lessons. He is cool; he always checks on the progress of the lessons. He is awesome. Not only he is a great teacher, but he is also an amazing musician. And one great thing about him is that he loves what he teaches and he plays it very well. I will definitely recommend Chris to anyone.– Cat

I'm a beginning player and I've been taking guitar lessons from Chris for 6 months. He is very patient, extremely knowledgeable about guitar technique and music theory, and his teaching style provides good structure but with plenty of room to learn my favorite songs (we are currently working on "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton). Even though I can only practice one or two hours per week I can now read music and play several songs. It's also amazing to see him play - the ease at which he plays complex songs is astonishing and fun to watch. If you are looking for an experienced and knowledgeable guitar teacher then I highly recommend Chris.
