About the Piano Lessons
Music students of all ages can now receive customized piano lessons that cater to their needs as a musician and developing artist. We'll work towards helping the student becoming independent of the teacher and also on finding the student's own unique voice or style.
I'll help you find the piano music that you want to learn and if it's a little too difficult then I'll create an musical arrangement for your ability level. In the past young students have asked me if they could learn brand new pop songs they had just heard the radio. If we decide to work on a song that is so new there isn't even music for it yet, then it gives us a chance to work on other skills besides reading, like transcription, ear training and arranging.
About Chris Marx- Graduating from Berklee College of Music in Boston in December of 2005 has positioned him to become a significant force in music. He's been playing piano for 17 years, but is still not as fast as the Amazing Oscar Peterson. Chris then spent a year as a faculty member at the premier private music program in Massachusetts, Bosse School of Music. Chris currently plays weekly at Chopstix Dueling Piano Bar and is developing a DVD Piano Course at FastPianoLessons.com.
The piano lessons are conducted at your own home for those who want the convenience, or at my apartment in Ballard, Seattle. I also have the ability to quickly record short examples from the lesson and put them on a CD or email to students. Being able to listen back to what was covered during the lesson and hear live examples is an invaluable tool. Having a recording greatly helps speed the learning process and keeps students practicing the appropriate material during the week.
Whether you have never touched a piano before or you've been playing for years and are looking for some new inspiration; whether you want to learn contemporary jazz, classical or a driving rock and roll version of jingle bells, or even if you want to compose your own music or film scores, I can give you the resources and tools to accomplish any of your musical goals!
Oh, and be sure to watch download some of the handouts and listen to the MP3s!

Free Handouts!
The links below this excerpt are a sample of the custom hand outs that I have given to piano students in the past. Feel free to download and print these PDFs from your computer. Some of these may have a short explanation written in the file, but most of them will probably require some clarification from a piano teacher.
