"After my first guitar lesson with Chris, I felt very encouraged and decided to keep coming back to see him. My goal was to learn guitar theory in order to get out of a rut of mindless noodling. Since starting with Chris just a few months ago, I’m surprised at how quickly I’ve progressed. I thought it would be much more difficult, but Chris is a fantastic teacher. He is patient yet also pushes you to really study the lesson materials. I look forward to each session with Chris and definitely recommend him to folks who want to get a grip on music theory for guitar.”

"I have taken lessons with Chris for a year. I have found him to be an extremely skilled musician, but he is still very encouraging for a beginner and has endless patience. I don’t think I could have stayed with it for the long haul without his help and cheerleading! I love to hear him play for those few minutes at the end of the lesson. It is so inspiring. He is an amazing musician and a great human being.”

"Chris' talents when working with elderly Alzheimer's patients is nothing short of miraculous. His musical talent, both playing the guitar and piano, as well as singing, make his programs a site of laughter, participation, and fond memories. It is amazing to observe residents who spend much of the day withdrawn from interaction suddenly come alive: hands clapping, sitting upright, laughing, and interacting with each other. Chris plays a perfect selection of songs: old stand-by-hymns, songs from another era, as well as some quirky modern songs that have become favorites. Each song resonates with so many of those present. Music touches the hearts and memories of those residents in ways that nothing else can. It is a gift."

"We've had a lot of success in Chris's studio. It's very comfortable and he gets the best out of us. I would definitely recommend going in to record your songwriting projects! We even tracked with a full band in there. He works hard to make it sound great. Check out his website and other work for reference."
