“Chris has instructed me in theory, sight reading and more. His joy of music is infectious. His patience with me during the process of my understanding our endeavors was the best. He could find another angle to explain things so that I could grasp things...which makes a difference. He also gave me many ideas of study aids outside of his teachings that have been most beneficial in my learning. Via phone apps, webpages and tutorial videos. Always pointing out the best stuff he has sifted thru. He has been a big part of my musical development. And is a very kind person to boot. I hope you get a chance to get some insight on your musical development from him as I have.”

"Working with Chris was absolutely wonderful! I do musical theater and am not yet at the point where I can sight read music or play the piano. I got in contact with Chris asking for help to prepare for an upcoming audition and he not only was more than willing and happy to do so, but came overly prepared to help me. He was very patient and informative, and every time I was getting a little discouraged or self conscious about what I personally was doing, he kept things uplifted, positive, and encouraging.
Never once did I feel judged, but rather motivated by him. I left the couple sessions that I had with him, more confident and comfortable with my vocal abilities than ever before!
I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone and I fully intend on seeking him out for my future projects!"

“Inspiring, absolutely a great time whenever I'm learning. The teachings are incredible and cannot be more personalized to exactly what I want to learn. If you have not had lessons on anything before, having a mentor like this to help you in every way and teach you everything you need to know from beginning to end is definitely the right choice. Chris is a wonderful mentor and a great person to have around. Definitely an outstanding review.”
