Introduction
My teaching stands out from other music teachers because I'm patient with my students and don't just work out of books. Aside from teaching theory I give my students the freedom to learn songs that they are actually into rather then just learning songs that I like. It keeps it fun for them. The thing I like most about my job is that I get to do what I love for a living. I get to teach and share my passion for music with people and make a difference in peoples lives.

My 11yr old really likes her first lesson and she's ready to learn more. And this is a child who doesn't talk to nobody :) He was very patient with her.

Lessons are ongoing. Christian is very good at relating to my grandson. He is very patient and my grandson is learning quickly from him. I highly recommend him.

I found Christian by googling piano instructors in my area. He responded quickly to my inquiries and we were able to set up an appointment within the first 48 hours of connecting. The price was very reasonable and our first lesson went well. While it's early in the process, I'm optimistic about his ability to teach me how to play the piano again (it's been decades since I first took lessons).

Details: 45 - 64 years old • Yes, the student can read music • 0 - 2 yrs of formal training • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student has a piano • 45 minutes • Willing to work around teacher's schedule • I travel to the piano teacher • The piano teacher travels to me

I have never had any music instruction outside of grade school and Christian got me started with the basics of guitar playing and explained to me why the practices he gave me were important and was very positive and encouraging. My first lesson was yesterday and I am already working on my first song! Looking forward to my next lesson and demonstrating my progress.

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I got tired of taking lessons from teachers who were just after my money who failed to teach me the theory and fundamentals I needed, so I studied music in college and decided that until I become a rock star I wanted to teach people the right way and make sure they don't miss out on the knowledge that some of my first teachers failed to teach me. I decided to make it my goal to make sure my students have it better.
