About
Hello! Potential students! My name is Mr Chris! I teach drummers of beginner level to advanced intermediate. I am also versed in teaching begginer piano to any age
My service stands out because I love what I do in teaching music to students of any age. Music is another language and we all connect with it because we all have a heart beat which we feel the rhythm. I can teach any style including Jazz, Rock, POP, Metal, Funk, and Blues.
I am timely, professional and only want the best for my students.
I enjoy seeing students grasp new concepts and then learning new cool ways to make music with drums and piano.
I enjoy influencing younger minds and teaching them a new way to think and learn new unfamiliar territory in rhythm and meloadys.
