Christian is an absolutely amazing musician and educator. As a teacher, he is extremely patient and skilled. Christian always know just how to break a new part or concept down in order to make it easier to understand. As a musician and songwriter, I came to Christian to build my skills on the piano and gain confidence accompanying myself. Our lessons have really expanded my skillset and confidence in just a few sessions. Christian also has a really wide knowledge of numerous styles of music. He has helped me to recreate some of my favorite songs in a way that's easy to understand and very fun to play. I highly recommend lessons with this kind and talented educator!

Christian is a very kind and encouraging teacher. He is always sensitive to my individual needs as a piano student. In other words, he always honors what I want to work on, while also offering and encouraging me to work on material that’s more challenging and out of my comfort zone. As a classical player looking to gain more skill in the jazz piano arena, Christian has helped me with the discomfort that comes with bridging that gap. I highly recommend Christian as a piano teacher.

Lessons with Christian were outstanding. I had taken lessons as a kid but had a lot of holes in my playing and things I didn't feel confident with. Christian identified these problem areas in our first lesson and was able to build a curriculum speficially for me. Now I'm playing more confidentially than ever and starting to play gigs around the city. He's an amazing human and comes highly reccomended!

I started with Christian as an adult student, so I was pretty insecure about my skill level. He met me perfectly exactly where I was and gave me so much valuable information to prepare My musical theatre pieces alone. Even in my year with Christian, I learned enough to help the kids I currently work with on their piano pieces/practice. I have referred Christian many times because I truly think he’s an exceptional teacher.

Christian is an incredibly gifted jazz pianist who also knows what it takes to break down jazz concepts for students of all levels to understand. I am a classical musician who has always dreamed of being able to play jazz but that dream had always seemed out of reach because the jazz mindset is opposite of classical. With a lot of patience, Christian helped me change my perspective and even helped get me to the point where I felt comfortable performing with a jazz trio. I never thought that was something I could get to. Christian is kind and listens to what each individual student needs. He’s flexible and ready to help his students tackle any musical challenges they are experiencing. I highly recommend Christian to help make your piano dreams come true!
