ABOUT CHRIS

Chris grew up playing guitar and at the age of twelve began. During the next six years, he learned all styles of guitar and deepened his knowledge of theory and technique. In college, friends asked Chris for lessons and a professor recommended Chris as an instructor to members of the community. It was then that Chris found his teaching career begin to flourish.

Chris’ dream during high school had been to become a rock star. As time passed, he began reflecting on the various gifted and insightful teachers who had impacted him and he eventually decided to shift to teaching as a full time career. He now has over 15 years of instructional experience and his students find his seasoned knowledge and enthusiastic spirit to be contagious and inspirational.

TESTIMONIALS

I met with Chris for the initial session and learned something I had not even figured out in many years of false start attempts to further my skill on the guitar! Wow. It was definitely a ‘duh’ moment and one way I know that Chris will be a good teacher for me. Now if I can just kick my butt into some practice discipline I should be good.

I have been taking lessons with Chris for 2 years. He is an amazing teacher and an amazing guitar player! He has taught me so much in the time I have been working with him. I love how he makes learning the guitar so much fun! He is also very patient witch makes it so I have a fun time playing! I wanted to play guitar badly before I started taking lessons but now that I actually take lessons it is even more exiting and fun to see what I will learn next week!

My daughter has been working with Chris for the past two years. From the beginning I could see just how strong of a teacher he was. As an educator, I could recognize Chris utilizing many of the same strategies that I have used with my students.

His knowledge of the guitar is only matched by his ability to explain it in a way that his youngest students (my daughter who is 8) can understand. We have had such a positive experience with our older daughter that we are counting the days until our younger daughter can start her lessons.

My daughter and I have been taking guitar lessons from Chris for nearly four years. So my comments should helpful to both an adult who would like to take lessons himself and a parent who has a child interested in learning to play guitar. Chris has been great as he is both an excellent teacher and a very accomplished guitar player (as well as a good guy).

He is able to teach those interested in either acoustic or electric guitar, as he is highly skilled with both. He is also more than willing to focus his lessons on the genre of music that is of particular interest to his students. I would recommend him highly to anyone, at any age, who would like to take guitar lessons.
