I have had a wonderful experience working with Chris for piano lessons so far. He was accommodating to my schedule to ensure I could receive the best time slot for me, and the prices are the best you'll find for this quality. There is no hassle at any part of the process. Chris is patient and encouraging, making sure you feel confident as you move through new things. I highly recommend Creative Music & Entertainment!

Awesome working with Chris! My daughter has tried piano lessons twice in the past and her interests always fell off, but with Chris she's motivated to even PRACTICE without being told. I'm loving it!!

Chris is very knowledgeable and patient. He takes time to make sure you understand before proceeding on to the next steps. I feel very comfortable and motivated after a lesson to practice. He keeps you in a nice comfortable range and pace so you don't feel pressured or frustrated.

Chris is a very fun guy to learn from! Beautiful learning environment, and laid back atmosphere, he taught me how to play a song within my first lesson! :) Super excited to come back, and progress on the guitar, Thanks Chris!

I began my guitar lessons the first day of July. Chris is an outstanding teacher who gets you involved in the lesson, gives you patient instruction and timely feedback on your progress. I have taken many other lessons from other teachers and did not get the same results in weeks that I got with Chris on the first day.

    $20.00 for individual lessons per half hour and $38.00 per hour lessons $12.00 per person per half hour for group lessons in voice, piano, and guitar WORKSHOP rates vary for off-site - ask if interested

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    I teach according to the way you like music rather than the way I like it-that's what makes me different from other teachers!

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    Recent Facebook review for DJ services: Jen did a excellent job as DJ for my parents 60th wedding anniv. She put a lot of work into getting the songs together for all ages, along with the ones we had asked for. She was also very prepared for any surprises and she fit in and was engaging with our guests. We were very pleased with the excellent job she did!! Review from FaceBook: RM said: "I have taken voice lessons from Chris and he is able to provide a great critique of my voice and provide helpful insight so that I can grow as a singer. For those of us who are a little shy about singing in front of others...he makes you feel comfortable!" RCS said: "Chris has been giving my 6 yr old daughter guitar lessons, he is a great teacher!!!! I love his style and his demeanor. His patience and the way he is able to communicate on a child's level, makes the experience extremely worth the money!!" KH said: "Chris is amazing! I took piano with him recently and it was so much better than I thought a lesson could be. I had never played piano before and was sure that since I was older, I would never be that good. He helped me learn popular songs way faster than I thought I would. He is fun and patient, encouraging and helpful. He's a great teacher who is passionate about what he teachers and really cares about what you learn and seeing you succeed. I highly suggest him for a speedy and fun way to learning new musical talents, for any age." CO said: "I have taken guitar and songwriting lessons from Chris and had also taken guitar and voice lessons from other teachers in the past. Chris is a great teacher and I learned a lot from him, more than from my teachers in the past. He is happy and energetic and makes learning fun!!!!" JH said: "Great instructor! Very patient. I have TONS of fun at each lesson. This place is great for guys and girls of all ages! Best money I've spent in a long time!" DJ said: "Chris Pickett has been my girls' music teacher for about 18 months. They have played the piano, guitar and taken voice lessons all with Chris. He consistently shows up at my home on time and works well with my girls. This is what they say about their music teacher: 'Mr. Pickett always makes lessons fun. I like him because he is nice." J-age 8. 'Mr. Pickett comes up with creative ways to do voice lessons. I like when he tells funny stories to teach me ways to use my voice. 'G-age 11. If you are looking for a teacher in the area we say give Chris a call.'" JH said: "I started looking online for a voice and guitar teacher for myself, and piano for my child, not really knowing what I was looking for in a teacher, and found Chris's ad on Craigslist. I called, set up the first lesson, and things took off from there. Chris's patience with my child at a young age was a blessing. For myself, I was playing full songs in just a few short weeks. Chris is a great teacher, full of energy, fun loving, and makes lessons enjoyable."
