Studio SessionGreat personalized instruction, where you can learn at your own pace. I came in as an older (in my 50's) student and learned very quickly. I highly recommend Chris as an instructor. He not only teaches music, but music theory and he is very pleasant and patient and attentive as a teacher.. I was playihg acoustic guitar but other instruments and voice are taught by him as well.

Great Music Teacher

rating starrating starrating starrating starrating star

Studio SessionChris Lee has been teaching my 11 year old son since May 2011. He’s been instructing my son in the following areas:
• Electric guitar,
• Bass guitar,
• Harmonica, and
• Reading/writing music.
Chris is very patient and keeps my son motivated. The lessons are exciting which keeps my son interested and yearning to learn more. This helps in my son practicing without it being a chore.
Chris encourages his students to write their own music using the computer and lined note sheets. He also gives my son confidence in his musical aspirations.
I feel that Chris’ methods of instruction have helped my son excel in the musical area.
My son is ready to begin taking a Jr. College level Music Theory class because of Chris’ instruction.

Overview

About

I'm a guitarist/composer with 21 years of experience. My musical development took place in a highly social environment. I started playing in bands when I was a freshman in high school. Some have ended up performing at major league venues like Slim's in San Francisco. While attending Diablo Valley College in 2005, I won the MACCC scholarship for one of my orchestral compositions. From 2010 to 2011 I worked for Ubisoft on the ROCKSMITH development team as a note tracker (transcriber, arranger and composer). After that job ended, I worked as talent/entertainment/session guitarist for studio recordings and live events (parties, corporate functions, festivals, art galleries, live marketing campaigns, etc.), arranged charts for different ensembles (string ensembles, big band, fake book charts, etc.), and composed original music for wedding ceremonies, in addition to teaching. I'm currently writing the manuscript for a guitar method book that focuses on building solid sight reading skills.
