About
The fastest way to improve on your instrument is to study with an experienced teacher who centers each lesson on your specific musical goals. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a more advanced student looking to take your playing to the next level, studying with a great teacher is the key to reaching your musical potential.
I've been teaching privately for over a decade and have experience teaching all age groups both in person and virtually.
Whatever your experience in music, I believe we learn best when we work with the music that speaks most deeply to us. For my students, I like to work from custom arrangements for each that progress in difficulty as you progress in skill.

Chris was awesome! This was my first ever real guitarlessons and he not only taught me how to get started with my new hobby, but he motivated me to want to pursue it even more. He made it interesting and fun…and kept it at a level I could understand. Bring on lesson #2.

Chris has been absolutely phenomenal! My daughter is shy at first but she instantly bonded with Chris. She’s learning so much and we look forward to continue working with him for the next few weeks while she works on her 8th grade final project. Chris does a great job at keeping her interested in the lesson and encourages her while she’s learning to play acoustic guitar.

Chris is knowledgeable and easy to work with. I picked up some valuable tools on my very first guitarlesson. I felt like I made progress after being stuck for months trying to learn on my own. I’ve already signed up for more lessons and feel I have a partner to help me accomplish my dream of playing the guitar.

My daughter has been taking online guitarlessons from Christopher for a few months. She always looks forward to her lessons and tells us that Christopher is the best teacher she could ask for. While teaching her solid basics, he makes it fun for her by practicing the songs she likes. I’m highly recommend Christopher to any family interested in guitarlessons.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
$30 for 30mins
$45 for 45 mins
$60 for 60mins
I also offer referral deals that get current students lessons free of charge if the referral stays on as a client.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always assess a new students skill level and musical knowledge to best develop a lesson plan to help achieve their goals as efficiently as possible. Each lesson the student will be given a PDF breaking down everything covered as well as backing tracks, and videos of lesson concepts upon request.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've taught many students throughout my career from all age groups. I've worked with complete beginners, children, college students, gigging musicians, and adults who are coming back to their instrument after a long break. My goal is to help each student grow and feel comfortable on their instrument. I obtained my master’s degree as well in 2018.
