About Me

Hi, my name is Christopher. I've been a musician for 26 years and a guitarist for 25, but I've been a lover of music since the cradle. I grew up listening to a very diverse array of music, giving me an eclectic taste and nimble hand when it comes to styles. This range has allowed me to explore jazz, rock, punk, funk, country, alternative, and all the ineffable in-betweens in my private practice and in my various musical endeavors. Teaching is a joy. I love deciphering the best manner to introduce and explain concepts to people, and the look of excitement on their faces and they begin to Get It. I absolutely live for that feeling. I bring decades of experience playing acoustic and electric guitar, as well as a flexible schedule, saintly patience, and desire to positively influence the lives of those I come across.

Christopher A. is proficient in and teaches Guitar Lessons .

What to expect in my Guitar Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

Students should expect patience, humor, and eclecticism. I come to my lessons with a lifelong passion for music, and over 25 years of facility on my instrument. I am not a shredder, but I play well and have a wide array of styles that I dabble in. My aim is to make lessons interesting at minimum, if not fun. There are no rigorous texts or demands to study specific pieces that may not appeal to you. I aim to challenge once it's clear you have a handle on the basics, but it's funner for me and my students to explore their own interests. Why wouldn't you want to learn why the song you like works the way it does? Demystifying music makes it more accessible, but also highlights what makes it special in the first place. As an instructor, I strive to guide students through that journey. If you don't become a superstar, you'll at least have tools toward self-expression. Remember: Art. Is. For. Everyone.



Formal Education:

I am a graduate of SUNY Purchase. I graduated in 2010 with a BA in political science.

Performing Experience:

I've been performing music since 1999 on various instruments, starting on saxophone in 7th grade, then picking up the guitar in 8th. I was in my high school jazz band throughout high school and began playing in rock bands in college. I've toured the midwest and east coast of America, released four albums, and played dozens of venues in NYC and Westchester.

Experience Teaching:

I've taught young children and pre-teens professionally and have instructed adults casually. I have found that the approach and rudiments are universal for beginners-it's about connecting your interest to the techniques that will shape your playing and ability to express yourself.
