What to expect in my Keyboard and Piano Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

My method is simple. The student-teacher relationship is really important to me. It's all about respect, trust, having patience, being positive and connecting to each other. I listen to my students' concerns carefully, so I can take them to their highest level possible. Music is a beautiful way to communicate with others and despite the discipline we need to accomplish our goals, we cannot forget to have fun while we're practicing and performing. Always smile :)

Review:

Great Trumpet lessons.

Chris is a fantastic instructor. I have learned a lot from him. He has covered all phases of trumpet playing. I would highly recommend him to a beginner to advanced player. I am very happy with his teaching methods. Gerrard Nembhard wrote on Mon, 27 Aug 2018

    Great Saxophone teacher

    I had a wonderful first class with Chris. I was looking for live lessons, which is not easy with this pandemia. I was not excited with online lessons. However, he went beyond my expectations. I am a true beginner in the Saxophone and he took his precious time to make sure I understood all the features of the instrument along with basic and important beginner techniques.

      A True pro!

      My daughter is an intermediate trumpet player having played for just over two years. In only her first lesson with Chris it was obvious he has the experience and knowledge to help my daughter get to the next level. He corrected some minor technical flaws that prior instructors had missed. I'm excited to see her progress under Chris' instruction Keith D wrote on Sun, 26 Jul 2020
