Bio
Hi! My name is Chris, and I am excited to share my knowledge with minds young and old! I have been a singer, guitarist, and songwriter for over 10 years, performing in New Zealand and abroad. My main project has been Albi & The Wolves, but I also perform solo in my own right as an entertainer every week.
Some career highlights include winning the Best Folk Artist award at the NZ Music Awards in 2018 with Albi & The Wolves, performing at WOMAD in 2020, collaborating with Mt Eden Dubstep and Lou’ana, and opening for The Longest Johns in 2025.
I started teaching in 2021, and I quickly found I loved it. Connecting with students and helping them achieve their goals is awesome! I started as a piano teacher and then began working for Eliette’s Music Academy and MusiqHub as a guitar teacher and vocal teacher. I have more experience as an acoustic guitarist, but I can also teach the electric guitar.
For piano lessons, we will use the Faber Piano Adventures series to learn to read music. For guitar, I will work my students through the basics, and then we will choose songs to work on together!
Trials are free, so let’s talk! I cannot wait for you to start or continue your musical journey with me!
Teaching Info
Laughter and learning go hand in hand, so lessons will be laid back, but focused. As mentioned above, guitarists will work through an introduction then they will help me choose their next direction. Pianists will work through the Faber Piano Adventures, with some individual tailoring as well, of course!
