Conducting with Chris K.

I have been teaching private music lessons since 2007. I love helping others learn about music. I teach my students both online and in person at my home music studio. I follow appropriately paced, sequential lessons. I always having a personalized objective to accomplish each time we meet. I offer a variety of private lessons, specializing in woodwinds (saxophone, clarinet, flute) and fretted strings (guitar, mandolin, ukulele). I have Master of Science and Bachelor of Music degrees in Music Education. I have an Advanced Professional Certificate (APC) for Music Pre K-12 from the Maryland State Department of Education. My education background helps make my music lessons flexible, relevant, and enjoyable, meeting the diverse needs of each individual student. I like to incorporate opportunities for students to compose their own music during lessons if interested. These opportunities help students apply music theory concepts in a hands on way. I also allow students to select some of their own pieces of music based on their own interests to help learn musical concepts. I can also assist with performance opportunities such as Solo and Ensemble or preparing for auditions. I have helped my students earn scholarships, placements in honor bands, and gain acceptance into college music programs. Please send me a message if you have any questions. I hope I can help you accomplish your musical goals!
