Land Park Music Academy

Chris Lee has been teaching my 11 year old son since May 2011. He’s been instructing my son in the following areas:

• Electric guitar,

• Bass guitar,

• Harmonica, and

• Reading/writing music.

Chris is very patient and keeps my son motivated. The lessons are exciting which keeps my son interested and yearning to learn more. This helps in my son practicing without it being a chore.

Chris encourages his students to write their own music using the computer and lined note sheets. He also gives my son confidence in his musical aspirations.

I feel that Chris’ methods of instruction have helped my son excel in the musical area.

My son is ready to begin taking a Jr. College level Music Theory class because of Chris’ instruction.

It's rare to find a talented teacher, and even rarer to find one that is really passionate about what they do. Chris is both, and he went above and beyond what could reasonably be expected to help my son make the best progress possible in learning to play the guitar, as well as theory. He's a really nice guy, and a really great teacher.

I wanted to make a wedding present for my fiancé and was looking for a musician to write music to a poem that he liked to make it a song. I came across Chris’ profile online and decided to try him because his musical tastes seemed very similar to the ones of my fiance’s. Chris responded quickly to my initial inquiry and we set up an appointment a few days later. He was very attentive and thorough gathering information about my fiancé’s music tastes and was able to come up with a rough guitar draft on our first meeting. He picked up intuitively what I had in mind and gave very good suggestions about how to improve original ideas at the same incorporating my ideas as well. He also customized the tune of the song to my voice. The whole process took several weeks during which Chris updated me regularly about the progress and sent me drafts of the song to practice with. Besides composing, Chris did music arrangement, editing and recording. He did a great job adding different instruments to enhance the melody and the final draft of the song came out wonderful. It fitted the original poem in terms of rhythm, mood and meaning. Chris is professional, personable and pleasant to work with. He seems to possess great knowledge about music and composing and shares his talent with enthusiasm. His rates were very reasonable considering I had a custom- written song to boast of at the end. I am very satisfied with the process of working with Chris and with the final product and definitely recommend his services.

I really enjoyed having Chris as my guitar teacher and recommend him for any level of guitar player! He is very skilled and knowledgeable and tailors the lessons to meet individual goals. I graduated from college with a music education degree but was never too confident in playing guitar. After two months of lessons with Chris, my confidence is up and I have learned a bunch of new stuff. He creates a comfortable learning environment and uses the time in the lesson efficiently. If I weren’t moving I would, no doubt, continue lessons with Chris.

Professional and extremely knowledgeable are the first things that come to mind when I think of Chris, this guy is definitely not some guitar dude burnout teaching people to jam out. Written and well thought out lesson plans, he was able to explain music theory that was a complete foreign language to me and make sense out of it. Great knowledge of scales and really catered the lessons to what I wanted to play, overall a great teacher I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a guitar teacher. By the way this guy plays the guitar like you would not believe as well!!!!!!

Chris is very professional. I can tell that he is passionate for music and teaching. He is consistantly committed to helping musicians develop and I would recommend his expertise to anyone. Seriously, one of the greatest teachers I have had.

Let me start off by saying I am actually not a student of Chris', but am very familiar with the work that he does.



Chris is incredibly knowledgable about music and theory and does an excellent job as an instructor. I played an instrument growing up and took lessons for a few months. Looking back, I learned very little and did not have much fun with it.



Chris is focused on teaching his students in a way that helps them understand and grow as musicians. He even has a book written, which few musicians can claim!



This guy is honest, friendly and professional and I would recommend his expertise to anyone looking for some high quality music instruction!
