About Christopher

My teaching approach:

As a highly sought after guitar instructor, Christopher has taught and performed master classes at such locations as Adirondack County Community College, Blue Sky Studios (Delmar, NY), Mars Music of Albany, Burnt Hills Music Academy, and The Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam. His private students have performed in master classes with artists such as Thomas Viloteau, and have been to accepted to such institutions as Schenectady County Community College and Florida State University, as well as participating in competitions including The Guitar Foundation of America Competition and the Ithaca

My influences are:

Julian Bream, Paco de Lucia, Manuel Barrueco, Pepe Romero, Tomatito, Vicente Amigo. And of course, my students are my greatest source of inspiration.

My guitar lessons take place in:

The teacher's studio or the student's home

Guitar Techniques:

Reading Music, Music Theory, Scales and Exercises, Song Writing, Guidance In Equipment Selection, Vocal Accompaniment, Performance, Improvisation, Lead guitar, Rhythm guitar, Fingerstyle

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following:

With complete beginners I like to introduce them to their guitar, with the names of the strings and parts of the guitar. I will provide the student with some simple exercises, and of course a piece of music that is age appropriate for them. Every student will learn to play a 'riff' or melody by the end of their first lesson! For experienced students, I have them play a few pieces of music to assess their technical/musical abilities.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following:

Guitar lessons are very personal, as every student is different and has different goals. I like to begin each lesson with a review of the previous weeks lesson, then ask how practicing went between lessons. I address any questions the student may have, then we will work on any material that was assigned (technique, repertoire, etc.) I always make sure to assign listen/viewing projects for my students to do to enhance their knowledge of the guitar

The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following:

My ideal student is one that loves music and the guitar, has an immense thirst for knowledge, and is dedicated to being musical and having fun!

i began in high school, teaching friends how to play their favorite rock songs.

I have a B.M and M.M in guitar performance from the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam, and have been on faculty at Crane, Molloy College, and Dowling College.

About the lesson

I like to learn about what the students goals are, and fill in any missing gaps they might have.

i have worked with students ranging from age 6-89 years old, beginners through advanced, and all genres.

Look for a teacher who loves teaching, and doesn't do it just for the money.

i am the executive director of a 501c3 arts nonprofit and recently produced a house concert hosting a classical guitarist.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What are the teachers credentials?

How successful has that teacher been with previous students?
