Specialties
I have a lot of personal experience playing all of these instruments with various musical groups, and a lot of experience professionally recording and writing my own songs. I can teach from my own experience, but can also adapt to the particular styles and genres the student is passionate about. I specialize in Rock primarily. However, I was first chair saxophone in the San Diego Youth Symphony and have a very strong understanding of the finer and more technical aspects of music.

musically and that can take the responsibility of being a great role model!
My name is Christian C., and I am a student at UC Berkeley. Aside from my studies I am a professional musician. I am the guitarist and lead singer for the band "Neveready" based out of San Diego.
