Bio
Hey! I’m Chris Bates, a music teacher with a Bachelor of Music based on the North Shore, with a passion for pop music. As a child I learned the violin for a number of years, and at around age 13 I began to sing, play guitar, and write songs. Over the last few years I’ve released some of my songs on Spotify as an artist, and performed around Auckland.
I’ve tutored vocals/guitar/songwriting for the last 5 years, specialising in vocals, guitar and songwriting. Having previously taught at reputable music schools, I am now excited to offer private lessons. It brings me great joy to guide aspiring musicians on their musical journey. All ages are welcome!
Teaching Info
In my personalised approach to teaching, I focus on empowering students to reach their musical goals. For aspiring guitar players, I delve into chords, how they work, how to play them, and the skills to play popular songs. If you’re aspiring to create your own music, I’ll also guide you through the fun and fulfilling process of songwriting.
For those keen on improving their singing prowess, I offer a curriculum that covers essential aspects such as breath control, projection, harmonies, and various singing techniques that are key to becoming a strong pop vocalist.
Throughout our lessons, I’ll cater to you and your goals, so that you enjoy your time and learn from it. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, I’m here to support your musical journey every step of the way. Together, we’ll unlock your potential and get you on your way as a skilled musician.
