Caron P. says, "Mr Chris is an amazing drum instructor. My son has taken lessons from Mr. Chris for just 2 years. When preparing for the recent music performance, my son wanted to create his own piece. I know this was extra work and time for Mr Chris, but my son was so thrilled that he created his own work! Mr Chris gave him some foundation pieces to use and then my son could decide how to fill in around those pieces. That was quite a confidence booster and again shows that Mr Chris takes the time to get to know his students and their abilities and values them as individuals. " Read more
