Private Music Lessons in Philadelphia, PA

For the last decade, I have maintained a private voice studio of children and adults of all ages. I have over ten years of proven teaching experience and have been performing my entire life. Whether you, have been singing your whole life or are just getting started, I can help you figure out how to start realizing your goals. Are you prepping for an upcoming audition? Are you an adult looking to get back into music? Do you have a child that absolutely loves to sing? Or maybe you just want to learn how to read music or feel confident singing along with the radio. Let me help you! I strive to help each singer achieve their goals with thoughtful attention to technique through personalized vocal warm ups and repertoire. There is nothing better than the moment when a student realizes his or her own improvement in a lesson!

Teaching guitar is my passion. I believe that everyone has a musical potential and I love helping people develop their musicality and I firmly believe that the saying "if you give a person a fish, you feed them for a day. But if you teach someone to fish, you feed them for a lifetime." I put every part of me into finding the best way for my students to learn. I have over eight years experience teaching guitar in a variety of styles including rock, blues, finger-style, and classical guitar.

I specialize in teaching beginners although I have taught people of all skill levels. I am very detail oriented and know that there is no one-size fits all lesson plan. I will make sure to create a program for each individual based on their interests and learning style. I love helping my clients reach their goals and I love seeing their progress.

Hello, I’m Chris, a cello and guitar teacher in Nashville, TN. I’ve taught for over 10 years, including seminars and classes at colleges in NY, Illinois, and Iowa. I have 20 years of experience in the music industry, performing over 1,100 shows, playing on over 30 studio albums, and composing for films, Youtube series, and podcasts.

I am a mandatory child safety reporter for Tennessee and can provide a recent background check. Teaching is my passion. I strive to assist my students in exploring their own individual passions, encourage them to engage in critical thinking, help them to persevere through challenges, and empower them to cultivate their own voice and creative process through play.
