Guitar with Christopher C.

“With Chris Cotter’s training and mentorship I released my first full-length album when I was only 17 years old, and then played for a 2,500 audience count show at the end of the following summer. then packed up and headed for a prestigious and selective conservatory in New York City. Chris Cotter is the only teacher that has given me the tools it takes to succeed at not only playing the guitar but in all of areas of learning; some that I asked for and some that I didn’t even know I needed. Chris has a vision for each of his students that surpasses their own goals and drives them toward a greater goal - personal progress. His lessons hit hard in areas much more valuable than musical ability: commitment and discipline that expands creative minds. My guitar guru is Chris Cotter, he has inspired me to take on the methods I’ve learned with him in his lessons in my everyday life as a scholar, as a writer, as a musician, and as a friend.” ~ Hayley Restivo Private Guitar and Group Class Student Songwriting and Creative writing; double conservatory major at SUNY Purchase Recording artist, film composer, vocalist, and lyricist My experience at Guitar Lessons Jamestown have been very positive.
