Guitar

Christopher V is a jazz guitarist based out of beautiful Los Angeles, California with an Associate of Arts degree in Music from Pierce College, and recently in 2022 graduated from Cal State University Northridge with a Bachelors of Arts degree. 

While in college he really grew into my own as a musician and discovered that I love black American music. Not only the music, but the history of how it formed as well as the differences and similarities with European classical music. When at school  played with various ensembles, arranged for various groups, as well as getting private instruction from some of the best instructors and players in the world.  

Thats what I'd hope to pass on the students; the idea that knowledge, be it music, english, math, physiology, etc. is the key to everything, and that it doesn't have to be stuffy and boring! I tailor my lessons to the student whether its guitar, piano, ukulele, etc. and my main objective for them is to learn and have fun, so the learning is reinforced with good natured thoughts.  This will set up the student to actually want to practice! These qualities as well as my patience with different learning speeds have proven to be very beneficial to me as well as my students.

What is a chord? Why are they important? The art of strumming 3 or more strings simultaneously is still being revamped with new information as long as the guitar has been around. We are going to learn to use our fingers more independently, so we can have more precision when playing chords and/or melodies. We'll be reading basic diagrams as well as some that you may come across online, and playing some basic songs. So tune up, and lets get to business!

Instructor

I want to have you walking out of the lesson happy, and excited to go home and practice some new material. With me you'll learn about guitar, but you'll also learn about music and how playing can help you in life (perseverance, basic math foundations, etc.)

Chris is a top-notch instructor. I came in knowing nothing and he taught me the fundamentals in a patient, professional, and fun way. I really appreciate his flexible teaching style, enthusiasm, and knowledge/love of music. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their guitar skills.

Chris is patient and help me focus on technique.

The lesson was a lot of fun. Chris is also super helpful.

Best instructor I've found and I'm sticking with him!

Chris is great and my son loves the group lessons and private lessons from him!

Chris is patient, understanding and supportive. After only one lesson I already feel better about my musical journey. Thank you!

Chris is a great teacher. I met him in group lessons. And now I’m using him for personal lessons. It was a good lesson.

Chris was really great with my daughter!  She can't wait for her next lesson.

Mr. Chris is really pleasant and fun teacher. He was on time and made his first lesson very interesting. He reviewed my son patiently for whatever he has learned before and then introduced him to some new notes. He didn’t rush with the time and made sure my son is comfortable with him.
Looking forward to the next class with him.👍🏻

Chris has been an excellent teacher and has done a fantastic job of helping me not only improve my playing ability, but also improve my understanding of music theory. He is clearly very educated in all styles of music and he had great lesson plans that were specifically tailored for my level of playing. Lastly, he does a fantastic job of making sure I'm having fun while learning music.

I am a currently taking lessons from Chris and I am very impressed by his teaching style. As a beginner guitar player it is important for me to have an instructor that is enthusiastic and encourages me to do better. He has helped me to improve my skills and has given me the tools in order to excel as a guitar player. I definitely recommend and have recommended Chris to other students that wish to advance their guitar skills.

Christopher is great! He's the first guitar teacher I've had who is able to put their passion for music into teaching, and it really shows. He's extremely knowledgable and gets his point across very well. His teaching method is very easy to understand and it actually makes sense. On top of that, he's also just a really cool dude. Definitely recommend him!

Chris is a great teacher who really knows how to make the process of learning easy and fun. You can really tell how much he loves music when he teaches. He is able to break down concepts in simple terms and most importantly shows me how to apply it! I love learning from him and have become a better musician thanks to Chris!

Christopher is brilliant! Very knowledgable, professional and really cool to work with. Appreciate him very much.

Highly recommend!
