Chris believes that students learn best when they are motivated, studying musical styles that they enjoy, while still establishing a firm foundation of technique and understanding. He believes in exploring the “why” of music so that students comprehend how music is put together, forming a deeper appreciation of the art form. But most of all, he believes that music should be fun, and aims to help students develop a true love of music.
