"Our goal is to nurture your child's (and family's!) natural enthusiasm and skills for music and…read moremovement." Mister Christopher is a natural with children. The classes that he holds are simple and easy to do for children of all ages. The classes concentrate on children younger than five but includes family members so that interaction is intimate and comfortable within his circle of music. He provides simple musical instruments for the children and accompanies on guitar encouraging children and adults to move, sing and play. The more that you interact with him the better the class gets. He teaches not only music but basic social skills such as sharing, cleaning up after yourself, politeness, and trust. The classes are such that you can attend one and feel included but people are encouraged to come back repeatedly and some families have been taking their kids there over and over again. It's a play group especially for kids to relax, have fun, spend quality time with their parents, or any family member. There are two locations where the classes meet. A Class location in PORTSMOUTH, RI at Elite Academy (formerly known as "Steppin Out Studios") 35 Dyer St. (off of Sprague St.) and A Class location in NEWPORT, RI at St. Paul's Methodist Church - 12 Marlborough St. (downtown Newport) I've taken my niece to the second location a few times. She's a special needs child that has a difficult time socializing. She really responds to Mister Christopher (that is what he has the children call him in class). He is very patient with all the children even kids that other parents may not know how to handle. I have a lot of respect for him as he has a CD of his own songs so you can practice dancing and singing at home with your kids. He also has the kids take home simple homework. Nothing too strenuous but an excellent way to have your children grow up with the expectation that you take work in your classroom and apply it at home. I have to add that when I first attended class with my niece I was a skeptical of Mister Christopher's methods. The classes seemed very childish. After attending it again and paying attention to his process and watching the other kids and my niece's reaction I was really impressed with him and the classes. He's very polite, engaging and easy to talk to. The class is suppose to be child like to capture your child's interest and make them comfortable so they can follow directions. When you first come to any class you and your child take off your shoes. So wear socks. Be prepared to pick your child up if they are very shy and have them dance with you if they can't (or won't) dance by themselves. Ask questions if you don't understand why Mister Christopher is doing something or if you can't hear. It can get noisy with the instruments at times but it's not all banging on drums or tambourines. Most of all relax and let Mister Christopher guide you through the class. Your child will really benefit from this class and Mister Christopher's attitude.

Scott is not only a great guitar player himself, but an incredibly gifted teacher. He really takes…read morethe effort to find out how to best help each individual student learn. I came to him as a casual player who wanted to improve my rock/blues playing. He quickly noticed what parts of my playing were holding me back, and showed me how to improve in those areas. Before taking lessons, I had learned a lot from Youtube and some college friends. I still think Youtube is a great tool, but nothing compares to having a good teacher in front of you. He came up with a personalized plan to help me improve my chops, as well as add to my guitar vocabulary. At the same time, he easily adapted by changing the day's lesson if I had something specific in mind. His lessons added much more structure to my practicing that I didn't have beforehand, which helped to improve my playing in many ways. Also, thanks to his lessons, I was confident when I played a short acoustic piece at my sister's wedding this summer. Scott has knowledge of many different aspects of guitar playing, so as I thought of different things I wanted to learn (from finger picking to pinch harmonics to setting up my guitar) he was always able to teach me. He's also a very informed gear-head. So as I was looking for a new electric guitar, and a couple of pedals, he had many good suggestions for me. I had taken lessons from someone else before finding Guitar Strength, and I can definitely say the difference was huge. Scott is clearly passionate about all things guitar, and he really enjoys helping others learn. Also, some of my favorite bands were recommended to me by him. I am in my mid-twenties, but I know Scott has students of all ages. I saw many younger students who had lessons before mine who were clearly enjoying themselves. I would definitely recommend Guitar Strength to anyone who is serious about improving themselves as a guitar (or bass) player, and as a musician in general. Whether you're a complete beginner, or have been playing in a band for years, a good teacher can help bring you to the next level.

Tim contacted me, also with a last minute cancellation, and worked diligently to help create the surprise of our dreams; there didn't seem to be a single song request that was outside of his wheelhouse (from Leon Bridges, to Louis Armstrong, Local Natives, Radiohead, and Bush), Tim seemed to be able to accommodate any song my little heart desired! Tim was also extremely easy to work with, friendly, responsive, and able to work within our budget. On the day of, Tim arrived, from Boston to NY, on time, needing no direction, and was playing the song we discussed as soon as my partner walked in for the surprise. It was truly a magical moment. Tim was fun to be around, especially during such an intimate moment between just my partner and I, knowing exactly when to engage, how to space the songs, and how to make us feel super comfortable in his presence. Thank you, Tim; the night was truly magical because of you! Do not hesitate to contact Tim, he won't let you down!
