About Chris A.

I've been teaching privately since 2012 and have experience teaching all age groups. I received my bachelor's degree in Audio Recording/Engineering with a minor in Jazz Performance and a master's degree in Composition/Arranging. I create detailed lesson plans based on each student's individual needs and create a fun environment for each student to grow as a musician. Included in every lesson is a PDF of everything covered, backing tracks, and video recordings of lesson material. Do you have ideas for songs or music in your head and want to learn how to write these down or finish them? Or would you like to take the music you’re already writing and put it into a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) to create more professional mockups (digitally produced recordings)? Whatever your experience in music, I believe we learn best when we work with the music that speaks most deeply to us. For my students, I like to work from custom arrangements for each that progress in difficulty as you progress in skill. Some of the musical styles I regularly teach: Rock, Pop, Metal, Country, Alternative, Punk, Blues, Jazz, Funk, Soul, R&B, Folk, and Classical.
