New York’s premier private lesson studio since 2007.
Founded on the idea that we all have a song to sing, Chris has been sharing his advocacy of musical individualism in NYC for over a decade now.
Student-focused.
Chris offers a compelling, student-centric approach to playing an instrument for adults of all levels. Song-based lessons get students quickly playing on a technical level, so they can set their sights on a more expressive relationship with music.
Chris works individually with each student to discover their goals and aspirations, and how to connect them with their audience — whether that’s just them, or their friends, family, colleagues or listeners at large.
Regardless of level, Chris is a patient, enthusiastic and motivating teacher, who has a knack for immediately connecting with students and their goals.
Chris excels at identifying what a student is really after, and clarifying the best method of unlocking the latent musician within themselves to achieve it.
Student-Trusted.
He has worked with notable students, across a spectrum of disciplines who have prospered from his personalized approach.
