Chris
Over the years, Christopher has enjoyed great success as a guitar teacher. With his extensive classical training, a diverse mix of learning experiences and refined teaching techniques, Christopher has produced scores of fine guitarists, many of whom have gone on to become successful musicians in their own right.
Christopher is passionate about the art of refined movement as it applies to fundamental guitar technique. He works diligently to impart a clear understanding of not only the visual and auditory, but also the physical relationship between the instrument and the player.
Understanding that every student has unique skills and methods of learning, Christopher differentiates his instruction to suit the needs of each individual, yielding the best possible chance for success. Where some instructors are proponents of only one style and methodology, Christopher has embraced many, and supports the aesthetic goals of the student, while stressing the tenets of strong fundamental skill and musicianship that foster musical independence.
Christopher's students perform regularly in recitals hosted by Reed Music at the La Crosse Public Library and at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse.

Required material in many graduate guitar programs, Bach's lute suites are a musical dream for the listener and a technical nightmare for the performer. Nothing is more difficult to play than an up-tempo performance of intricate counterpoint by the master of masters.
