Private Music Lessons in Lewisville, TX

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 even did a tour on a canoe on the Erie Canal from Buffalo to NYC. I hold degrees from Full Sail University, with additional undergrad and graduate classes from SUNY Fredonia, Suzuki training, inclusivity, and safety training through Music ConstructED. 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.

Located in South Austin, Nine Muses directs students on a path to becoming better musicians. My instruction includes vocal techniques, breath support, musicality, music theory, vocal pedagogy, sight reading, and performance techniques. Recitals throughout the year offer a chance for each student to practice performing for an audience, and also provide an opportunity for family and friends to celebrate their progress. Confidence in singing comes from learning the intricacies of your own voice: How it works, how to use it, how to control it, and knowing how to fix things that may go wrong. Once technique is learned, a singer begins to truly understand their voice and what they're capable of. Once they have control, they have confidence. Once they have confidence, they're ready for that solo, ready for that audition, and ready for that big performance in front of hundreds of people. At Nine Muses Studio, we believe anyone can be a musician. If you have a passion for music and a willingness to learn, you can become a great singer. Whether you're aiming for a career as a musician, preparing for a big audition, planning to enter a competition, or want to be the best singer in your church choir, voice lessons can help you on your path to excellence. Nine Muses Studio teaches a variety of styles, including classical, musical theater, jazz, and various contemporary genres.
