  Think You're Too Busy For Lessons?

We understand.

That's why we've introduced....

 

Drop-In Classes, Jam Sessions & Workshops! 

ONLY $10.00 per session!

 

Ideal for the busy music student/player. Especially adults and those who'd like an occasional refresher course. Or just a chance to have a structured jam session with other musicians. This is a whole new concept in music lessons.  So if you're unable to commit to a regular lesson appointment schedule, just check here to see or even request what's being taught in the weeks to come. Drop in classes are designed to help busy people learn without the strict time commitment of weekly, one on one music lessons. And at 10 bucks a pop it's super cheap too! But these sessions can fill up in a hurry so it's a good idea to reserve a spot.

  • Monday - Rock Shop With host ??? 6:00 - 7:00pm COMING SOON!

Rock workshops are the best way to prepare for playing live. All instruments are welcome and needed (especially singers!) We'll pick a classic or soon to be classic rock hit each week and learn and rehearse the tune as a group. You can also practice the songs in advance to build your confidence, or study them with your private instructor. It's the perfect way to both build your repertoire and gain experience playing with others.

What do others say?
 
"I was only thinking about taking guitar lessons…too much time thinking about it, too many years wasted. When I met Chris, I knew I had to do it...so I did, now I am. Chris is a great instructor, a wonderful guy, a good friend and one awesome guitarist. He can also help you write all those songs you've been thinking of writing.
If you want guitar lessons, do it! You can't do any better than Chris!"
Stan Price, Bothell - middle-aged rock star.
 
"This was the most fun I have ever had playing guitar. That might not sound like much from a guy that doesn’t know how to play, but to be able to get together with a group of people that can play, and to be allowed to be involved, really makes it a lot more fun to try to learn. I really hope you will continue to do this on Friday’s. It is an absolute blast."
