About Misha

Unlocking musical potential is my passion. As a touring artist with 13 years of teaching experience, I offer personalized guitar lessons tailored to your skill level and goals. Let's embark on a fulfilling musical journey together!

What students say...

"Even though we only had one lesson, it was clear that this student is already an experienced and skilled player. We focused on exploring different approaches to playing over jazz standards, and he picked up the ideas right away. He was engaged, open-minded, and brought a strong musical foundation to the session. I have no doubt he’ll keep developing his voice in jazz.

About Chris

With a degree in Entertainment Technology, I've studied music since 3rd grade. Starting in orchestra with the upright bass, I learned how to read music in school. I branched out from classical orchestra to modern rock music. Coming from a musical family, I had access to guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, piano, and drums. I performed in piano recitals, sang in concert choir and acapella groups, and played in jazz band. I self-produce my own music and continue to perform live.

What students say...

"Chris is a great teacher! He is a really nice guy and makes me feel good about being a beginner. I had trouble pushing down the strings and my fingers hurt. Chris gave me instructions on how to set up my guitar to make it easier, and when I came back for the next lesson, he had a practice guitar there for me! He is a genuine person.

What do coaches say about teaching kids and youth?

P

Coach Pascual

guitar coach

I adapt my lesson for kids by first making sure that they have the appropriate size guitar. Younger students from ages 5-8 should purchase a 1/2 or 3/4 size guitar. Second, I will demonstrate solid mechanical movements to young students that they can copy to start developing their hand mechanics for the guitar.
