I love to help people find joy in music. I have young students that dream on being a rock star and every time we play "Back In Black" they open a huge smile and have so much fun. And I have adult students that never touched an instrument before, but now know how magic and unique it is to make music. I love how music allows people to heal from their pains and at the same time multiply someone`s happiness. Read More

Hello! My name is Chris. I am a full time professional performer. My instrument is the bass (both double bass and electric bass). I have been playing the bass for about 20 years now. Before that, I had sung in choirs from a young age, and I continue to sing to this day. I also studied piano from age 8, which I truly believe helped my musical development immensely. The genres that I perform within the most are jazz, avant-garde, rock, and folk. Read More

I use guitar tablature as the main method for music reading. I've found its the simplest and quickest way to get the student playing melodies and songs on the first day.
