Lessons can include chords, rhythm, strumming, fingerstyle, picking technique, songs, fretboard knowledge, basic theory, ear training, and musicianship.Whether the goal is to learn first songs, improve technique, accompany singing, or develop stronger overall musicianship, lessons are structured to keep progress clear, practical, and enjoyable.

"I had a great first lesson with Chris! Right from the start I knew I was in good hands. He was confident that I could make significant progress with my singing and it was clear that Chris has many years of experience that was relevant to my goals. Excited about where this journey will take me!"-Shona, Singing Student
"Chris has an impressive way of identifying areas where a client feels joy and areas to improve on. He doesn’t apply a one size fits all approach and takes the time to listen and respond thoughtfully and intuitively. I have seen improvement after just two lessons and am excited for what’s ahead."-Christopher, Singing Student
"Chris is a wonderful guitar teacher. My son really enjoyed his first lesson and came back very happy. Chris is patient, encouraging and clearly explained how he plans to structure the lessons going forward. We’re very glad to have found him."-Danyang, Guitar Student
