Guitar with chris M.

Hello to all, I was a weekly student for Chris, and I have to say that our lessons together we're always a great time for the both of us. I practiced with Chris for about two years, and in that time I never once felt like I was under some sort of pressure to get prepared for the next lesson. The reason for that is because Chris is the kind of teacher that makes you want to get better. Every time he left me an assignment of some sort, whether it be practicing blues progressions to recording a solo part to a rythym track, I could never help myself from getting to work the second he stepped out my front door. Chris truly created an atmosphere for me that made it easy to learn, and I'm the kind of person who has a hard time learning. I seriously recommend Chris not only because he is a great teacher but a great friend as well!

I have studied under Chris’ tutelage for a little over one year. I can say with confidence, Chris is one of the kindest, most knowledgeable, accommodating, and encouraging instructors I have ever had the privilege of studying with. Instruction: Chris works at the level of his student. He doesn’t assume you have mastery in any skill and works with you each week to build up a core set of basic skills. From an early point, Chris was able to adapt to my level and show me fundamental skill building exercises. Lesson Variety: Chris would teach different aspects to learning the guitar with each lesson. He would supply any instrument or tool needed and would take the time to explain what each object does. At the end of each lesson, I would feel confident in the material that was being taught, and felt that each lesson was new and important. I’ve learned various rhythms, notes, styles of playing, and more. Flexibility: Chris was very accommodating to my schedule. He was consistent and timely for each lesson, and understanding when life circumstances would interfere. He works well at adapting to how you want to learn, a key ingredient to being an effective instructor. In summary, Chris was an excellent instructor, I learned a lot from his weekly lessons, and he is just a straight-up nice guy. I would recommend him to anyone looking to learn how to play the guitar or improve one’s skills. – Kevin P.

Chris is an excellent instructor. My teenage son enjoys his lessons. Chris makes students very comfortable and motivates them to learn. He has a great disposition and we couldn't be more thrilled. Thanks Chris!!!
