Instruments:
Pulling from his diverse experience as a freelance trumpet player having performed with local orchestras including the Concord Symphony, Indian Hill Pops Orchestra, Neponset Valley Brass Quintet and the Brookline Symphony, Chris is able to adapt his teaching to suite the needs of each student, empowering them to set and achieve individualized goals.
Instruments:
I vary my teaching style according to my students' levels. Novice students will receive more praise and encouragement, while more advance students will rarely get away with careless mistakes. I try to figure out what motivates kids to practice, and then give them lots of that. For both, attainable goals over short-term and long-term periods help keep progress coming.
Instruments:
My teaching experience dates back to when I was in elementrary school. I've taught privately off and on for almost two decades. I love to encourage students to be the best they can be, to love the music that they make, and also to be proud of their accomplishments.
Instruments:
Music has been my passion since grade school. I began teaching in the fall of 2006 and have engaged with students of all ages. I welcome the wide eyed enthusiastic child who can't wait to learn and perform, as well as the reluctant, but determined adult who just wants to play for fun or take on a new challenge. After attending the Berklee College of Music in Boston for 2 years, I joined Merrimack Valley's favorite local band the B. Street Bombers where I performed all over New England playing trombone, piano, percussion and vocals from 1986 to 2005. In 2006 my wife and I moved to California where I was Music Director at the Rock Church from 2007 to 2014. After a brief stint in San Diego my wife and I recently moved back to Bradford, Mass which is the location of my teaching and recording studio. You can catch me playing locally with the B. Street Bombers, the River City Band and the Lakes Region Big Band. My main instrument in trombone in which I can teach beginner to advanced. However I also teach, bass, drums piano, trumpet, baritone horn and tuba where I am able to teach at a beginner to intermediate level.
Instruments:
My methods vary for each instrument so I have given a basic outline of my techniques below: For beginning students who are children I start with the basics, how do you play this funny musical instrument! I have a few different books I turn to based on the student. For beginner adults I have a more technical approach to teaching the basics and will focus on what you really want to learn and get out of your lessons. For more advanced students I have a variety of books that I use for technique and theory as well as solo pieces we can learn for recitals and auditions.
