Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I truly believe that I stand out as a music teacher because I enjoy all styles of music and I have a passion for passing my knowledge along. My professional music background is very diverse; most of my formal training was in jazz and classical music, which I believe to be the best styles of music suitable for mastering your instrument and having a complete knowledge of how music works, but I have also played almost every genre of music professionally. Once a basic command of your instrument is achieved, that knowledge can be taken and applied to any style. Since I also have a background as a composer, I believe that my theory knowledge is deeper than the average music teacher as well. What's not to love? I get to either play or write music for a living, and when I'm not doing that I'm passing on my knowledge to others, which I find extremely rewarding. My favorite part about teaching music is when I can see something "click" with a student who had previously had difficulty with something. It doesn't necessarily happen every day, but when it does it is the most rewarding experience.

We have more than loved working with Kris the past years. He has taught our son piano at age 6 and 7, with all the patience and friendliness, yet high professionalism, that we could have hoped for. He set up expectations for our son without making him feel bad if he hadn't touched the piano much in a given week - even in weeks without much practicing, progress was made just by sitting down with Kris for a lesson. And then we got to the point where something clicked, and our son will now not go a day without playing! Kris is always flexible, truly listens to his student, and explains everything very clearly. His lessons are playful yet full of information. He is just great with kids and a very knowledgeable musician himself. We couldn't have been happier with his style of teaching and will miss him greatly now that we are moving out of state!

Kris is really chill aka patient with my kids, who aren't into piano lessons. He doesn't push them but has a firm yet encouraging demeanor. He's cool.
