        Professional Music Training at an Affordable Rate

        General Info
        I'm a professional music instructor with over 10 years of teaching experience. I offer lessons for guitar, bass, piano and voice. I've had students as old as 70 and as young as 5 with a variety of different learning styles. While lessons are designed to be fun and accessible for players of all ages and skill levels, they're also tailored to assist each student in achieving their goals. My pedagogical philosophy is that music is a language. Thus, a lesson with me would touch on all the topics that might be covered in a language class (AND MORE): - theory = grammar - ear training = vocabulary - sight reading = literacy skills - composition = speech writing - repertoire = speech memorization - technique/articulations = enunciation - improvisation & collaborative skills = basic conversation skills - musicianship skills = musical multitasking (singing and playing at the same time, etc.) - recording experience, etc I can help you bridge gaps in your knowledge, isolate hang-ups in your technique, learn to read music, right your own songs, collaborate with other players, recognize chords & scales by ear, communicate with other players about music on a technical level, explore new styles of playing, take your playing to the next level, and unlock your musical identity. Whatever your goals may be, I can help. I like to use the game Rocksmith to teach repertoire for guitar & bass students.

        Chris Lee and the East Bay music academy have been an enormous influence on my playing and my life. Chris is a highly organized, professional teacher as well as a phenomenal player and even more astounding composer/theoretician. His approach to music theory, while staggeringly comprehensive, is completely accessible, and I found that his conception of theory is in many instances more concise, elegant, logical, and practical than that presented in college theory courses. Moreover, the open-minded, experimental attitude which he brings to every aspect of his instruction, from theory to technique, has taught me how to grow continually as a musician long after I stopped taking lessons, and to be effective as my own teacher. Chris Lee transformed me from a clueless teenager into a professional musician, and I have no doubt that he can do the same for any earnest student.

        Chris has been a great guitar and theory teacher for our teenage son, helping him with his skills, practice and sight-reading. He recommends artists to listen to and takes this seriously, even giving homework. Chris is reasonably-priced, never shorts the lesson time, and has a wealth of musical knowledge. I would recommend Chris for music students of all ages.
