About Chris S.

Hi there! My name is Chris. I teach music to people just like you and I help people achieve their musical dreams! I teach how to play piano by ear by teaching the system that professional musicians use to learn songs quickly. You can be one of those people who hears a song on the radio once and then can sit down and play it instantly. It is not a magic trick. It is a system that you can learn. I also teach voice and rapping lessons where I help my students improve their technique, build their confidence and ultimately teach them how to build a career in music. I also offer lessons in music theory, music history, songwriting, live performance, beat production, studio recording, booking gigs, marketing your music, building a fan base, and making a full-time living in the music business! I have been a professional musician for over 30 years and have been teaching for over 12 years. toured the country for 8 years with a band (LP Outsiders) that led to a publishing deal with Windswept Pacific, landing a song on the Three To Tango movie soundtrack, appearing on the Disney Channel Show "2 Hour Tour" with 98 Degrees, and opening for many national acts. We even toured with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy for a year. I also played trumpet on a b-side on Natalie Imbruglia's multi-platinum selling single to "Torn," and did some songwriting with Robbie Nevil (of "Ce La Vie" fame).I also have performed all over the world including many Caribbean islands like Aruba, Barbados, Curacao, St. Maarten, and St. Kitts. I offer lessons to people of ALL AGES and ALL SKILL LEVELS! I customize the lessons to focus on the things YOU WANT TO LEARN. Whatever your musical goals are, I would love to help you get there!

Chris really got to know my voice in the beginning and my vocal lessons specifically target on what I need to work on. He is very thorough and detailed. I have already seen significant improvements with my voice and I highly recommend him as a vocal coach!

I am a returning student after a 20+ year gap. Chris was able to identify the areas needing improvement quickly. I've been with him for a year and I'm playing better than ever! He's a great guy, very understanding, and a very patient teacher as well. 6/5 stars.

Chris is a great teacher! He’s experienced, knowledgeable and knows how to teach the subject of music to anyone seeking to learn the language. In just a few months I’ve learned a lot! Totally worth it.
