Mic Drop Music Lessons

"My kids have been taking classes with Chris Belden for more than a year now, and I could not be happier with what I have seen them accomplish. Chris has a way of reaching each student where they are - my two sons are very different learners- and Chris has been incredibly skilled to tailor the pace and pedagogy to each's own style. He brings a levity to the teacher -student dynamic, but also leads with focus and steady expectations; the kids want to work on their skills so that they can show Chris how they are progressing - and he celebrates them in kind! Chris is truly a gem of a teacher - couldn't be more highly recommended by my family!"

"We highly recommend Chris to work with students of all ages! Our grade school child has been taking piano lessons with Chris for the last two years. Chris inspires a passion for music in his students and our child looks forward to lessons every week. He has helped our child not only learn the music but also understand the importance of practice and perseverance in learning something new. Chris is communicative and fosters community in his students who participate in virtual recitals a few times per year. Thanks, Chris, for your dedication!"

"It's been such a great experience learning Guitar with Chris. After too many years plateauing as intermediate guitar player with many gaps in my knowledge, I took the plunge to try actual guitar lessons. Right move! My guitar playing has improved, as has my knowledge of the instructions and my confidence to play in front of other people. Chris has been excellent at picking out the kinds of songs that help me to grow and challenge me. The videos he sends are super helpful in a way that YouTube just can't compete with. I'd highly recommend music lessons with Chris!"

"Chris is such a warm and talented music teacher! He listens carefully to his students and tailors his approach to what they want to learn, which keeps the lessons engaging and fun, while also given them enough direction to really progress in a particular instrument. In addition to working through more traditional lessons/songs, he will help students learn popular music of their choosing, which is very gratifying to perform. I credit Chris with fostering a true love of music in my son, who is now 12, and has studied with him for 3 years for both piano and guitar as well as my daughter, now 10, who plays piano. I enthusiastically recommend him!"

"Chris is a great musical instrument teacher with incredible talent! He is patient and encouraging, and our son always looks forward to their ukulele lessons together each week. Teaching via zoom is no easy feat but Chris makes it seamless and keeps the kids engaged and excited. We love his approach and his blend of technical skills and creativity. Looking forward to many more!"
