I've been playing cello practically my whole life - and have been so fortunate to play professionally in many orchestras and chamber ensembles. Presently I run the Lost in Strings group workshop at Austin Strings where we take string players of mixed ages and levels and play quartets of popular and classical music - it's a wonderful supportive atmosphere for anyone looking for more performance experience! I love teaching students who are playing for themselves so we can keep the love of music top priority while learning. I specialize in excellent position, technique, and tone with an emphasis on sight-reading sheet music. Pictured here is me playing a Guanari Del Gesu violin from a private collector in California, what an incredible day!

My lessons offer children as young as eight years-old on picking, strumming, reading music and playing their favorite songs!

Whether you are just starting out or have been playing for decades, I offer guitar lessons for adults of all skill levels.

My 8yr old daughter has been taking guitar from Chris for a year now, and we both couldn’t be happier! Santa brought her a guitar and Chris has taken her from not even knowing how to hold it, to picking and strumming in a year. Her fingers aren’t long enough yet to fret chords, but Chris seems to find ways to expand her knowledge steadily while we wait for her to grow.

The combination of his exceptional skills as a musician and his positive and approachable teaching style is nothing less than the secret sauce that is helping me renew my passion and further my skills as a musician.

Chris is a genuine guy and a genuinely awesome guitar coach. I am a professional musician that wanted to get to performance-level basic guitar as quickly as possible. Within three months of beginning working with Chris, I won The Recording Conservatory of Austin’s Top Singer-Songwriter Contest backed by my own guitar playing. I’m very glad I am working with him, and I’m looking forward to working with him to further improve my performance abilities in the future.
