Music lessons are much more than simply teaching you how to play an instrument. For many people, the hardest part about learning a new instrument isn't playing it, but having realistic goals for improvement  as well as a direction on how to reach those goals. Lessons not only teach, but also motivate. Let's say there's a piece/song you want to learn to play, but it is too difficult for you right now. A good teacher will help you develop skills so that you can accomplish your goal. While the ocarina is an easy instrument to learn, some people would prefer to use their time as efficiently as possible and private ocarina lessons can definitely help. Whether you are a beginner that is interested in fundamentals, or advanced and working on a particularly difficult piece, I can help!

Cost : $37.50 per 30 minutes of tutelage. Lessons are typically 30/60 minutes.   Discounts and scholarships are available.

Testimonials:

“Thank you for teaching Wright tonight and spending so much time with him. He loved the lesson and is very excited to learn more. We have been trying to get him interested in music and it has been somewhat of struggle competing against computer and video games for his attention. It is great he is so excited to learn the ocarina and we hope his interest continues.”  Bruce E-

"I had so far just 3 online lessons with Cris and they were great, well organized and consistent. Good balance between price and quality. I started as a complete beginner (still I am) and I find I am improving a lot, specially in breath control. The fingering lessons and reading music are very useful too (if you take your time and practice after the lesson, of course) " Jose O-

"Cris really knows her stuff. Her customer service is always awesome. She always gets back to me when I send her an email. She has really helped me grow amazingly over the past several lessons. The first work we did together was worth a fortune to me. She was very nice and understanding. Working with Cris has really opened things up for me. She is such a careful and perceptive listener, and I come away with so much encouragement, direction and motivation; I have a sense of purpose about playing that gets stronger and more clear each time we speak. She is a terrific coach. She took a sincere interest in helping me find relevance and meaning in the process, and offered me the opportunity to surprise myself with real productivity. Her original methods turn procrastination and perfectionism inside out, flipping weaknesses into motivators...I'm thrilled to finally see progress in my work. Thank you, Cris!!!" Daniel H-
