More Than Just Learning Songs
At Chris K Music, the goal isn’t simply to get through a lesson book.
Students learn how to become stronger and more independent musicians.
Depending on the student, lessons may include technique, scales, rhythm, music reading, ear training, improvisation, theory, performance skills and learning how to practice effectively.
We also use real music whenever possible.
That might mean working on school band or orchestra music, a favorite song, worship music, audition material, marching band music, jazz, contemporary music or something the student simply wants to learn.
Strong fundamentals are important, but so is learning to actually enjoy making music.
Music Lessons for School Band and Orchestra Students
Private lessons can be especially valuable for students participating in elementary, junior high, high school or college music programs.
Lessons can provide additional help with:
- Band and orchestra music
- Difficult passages
- Tone and technique
- Rhythm and music reading
- Scales
- Audition preparation
- Solo & Ensemble preparation
- Marching band
- Jazz band
- Percussion and drumline
- Confidence in rehearsals and performances
Sometimes a little individual attention is all a student needs for something that has been frustrating in rehearsal to finally make sense.
Lessons for Adult Musicians Too!
Music lessons aren’t just for kids.
Adults are always welcome at Chris K Music.
Maybe you’ve always wanted to learn piano or guitar. Maybe you played an instrument years ago and would like to start again. Maybe you’re involved with a church worship team or community ensemble and want to become more confident.
You do not need previous musical experience to start.
Lessons can move at a pace that works for you and focus on the music you actually want to play.
Worship Music Lessons
Musicians involved in church and worship ministry can also receive specialized instruction.
Lessons may include contemporary worship styles, chord charts, Nashville numbers, improvisation, playing with a worship band, dynamics, song transitions, accompaniment and developing better musical awareness within an ensemble.
Instrumentalists, vocalists and worship musicians can all benefit from lessons designed specifically around real-world worship situations.
