Hey! I’m Chris Bates (BMus), and I teach singing, guitar and songwriting, based on the North Shore. As a child I learned the violin for a number of years, and at around age 13 I began to sing, play guitar and write songs. Over the last few years I’ve released music online as an artist, and performed around Auckland.
I’ve tutored music for the last 5 or so years, both younger and older. It’s a great pleasure to help guide aspiring musicians on their journey. All ages are welcome!
