Student Reviews
When I retired I had a few things that I wanted to do. Learning to play guitar was a long time dream. I fooled around playing a few bass runs around 1968-70 [right handed]. What Chris took on was teaching a 60 year old with a passion for the blues but NO musical training, that had to start from scratch left handed. {I have a frozen left index finger}. Chris has great patience, great knowledge, the ability to explain concepts so even a 60ish novice understands. He has training with multiple instruments, but his knowledge deep and varied. He helps with the tech side [thru my Apple]. I consider Chris much more than my teacher, he has become a friend, despite the age difference. We've gone to shows together[ie. Hubert Sumlin @ BB Kings, ZZ Top @Beacon]. I COULD NOT RECOMMEND CHRIS MORE STRONGLY....HE IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS AND THEN SOME!!!
Mickey Schwartz - Brooklyn, NYAbout the Piano
The word piano is a shortened form of the word pianoforte, which is seldom used except in formal language and derived from the original Italian name for the instrument, clavicembalo [or gravicembalo] col piano e forte (literally harpsichord with soft and loud).
