We've been going to Chris for music lessons for almost 3 years. My daughter had taken piano lessons for a year elsewhere, but we were interested in broadening her interest in different musical instruments. She now plays piano, ukulele, and is learning guitar. She is also coached on her singing during her lessons. Having gone to another piano teacher, I feel I can speak on how impressed I am by Chris and his music school. I have never had one complaint and love that she's learning from both Chris and Katie. The recitals are great and both teachers have been extremely supportive and professional. Sometimes I sit in on the lesson, and it's so much fun to see what my 6th grader is doing and how Chris really brings out her talent and encourages her confidence. Something to note for new parents to music lessons: it is hard work and children can lose interest quickly. The teachers cannot force your child to be consistent and excited. My youngest tried piano for a few months and it didn't work for her. If they have an interest, give it a few months and remind the student of what they wanted to learn or a goal they hope to achieve. And let the teacher teach!

My daughter thought thought that I needed some self improvement and signed me up with Perfect Harmony for guitar lessons. Being an older student can be intimidating, however, Chris at Perfect Harmony has made learning a lot of fun and very accessible. I would highly recommend Perfect Harmony for both the "more mature" student as well as younger students.

Our 13 year old daughter has been taking ukulele and singing lessons from Katie for two months. She really enjoys the lessons, and leaves each one feeling really excited about what she's learning. She looks forward to her music lessons each week, and can't wait to learn more from Katie. She has said on multiple occasions that her teacher really motivates her, and makes a huge impact on her improved music skills. Overall, I feel like the location of the music school is perfect for us. Our daughter goes to Liberty MS, which is an easy after school walk to music. Chris is very responsive via text, phone and email whenever I have had questions. The Spring recital was this past weekend, and it was fabulous! Katie came and introduced herself to us parents, and talked to our daughter to ensure she was feeling prepared for her piece. Our daughter later told us that Katie was on the side of the stage, out of sight of the audience, cheering her on during her performance. There were a lot of kids of varying abilities, and Chris gave each of them an opportunity to shine. I definitely recommend this music school and the teachers in it! So happy to have something so good and so local to meet our needs.

We love Perfect Harmony. They are the only place that handle their customer very professional out of 4 other music lessons around Camas that I contacted. Make me feel appreciate and they actually care about their client. Some other music lessons doesn't even care to return my call after I left 3 msgs. Other one asking the client to pay $60 for meet and greet with the teacher before the lesson even start. Other one refused to give piano private lessons for my son because he was not 6 years old yet at that time. Until I found Perfect Harmony. Chris response very fast and explain everything very detailed and informative. So my son started piano lessons with teacher Katie ( she is so sweet and bright). My son loves learning piano lessons with Katie. She is just amazing working with kids. She is always so easy going along with my son's mood and do fun things that makes every lesson enjoyable. It's been 8 months now since we join Perfect Harmony, my son shows so much progress in playing piano now that he can already read the notes in piano sheets on his own (many musician still find it hard to read piano sheet), he knows all the chords, he can even play both treble clef and bass clef at the same time and he is just 6 years old. All thanks to Katie. She is such amazing teacher. She is very helpful and cooperative. Over all I am really happy and please with our experience with Perfect Harmony. I forget to mention their lesson rooms are very very comfy. I really enjoy their interior decoration. definitely recommend this place to others.

Easy to find a time slot and day that worked for our schedules. Nice garden. Lessons weren't a great fit for our family.

My kids have been taking piano lessons from Chris for two years now and they truly enjoy it. He keeps the atmosphere positive and builds a rapport with his students. Chris has a kind an easy-going personality which my kids greatly appreciate! He is extremely knowledgeable and has a solid musical background. I am quite impressed by how much my kids have learned and how well they are playing in such a relatively short period of time. My Family and I feel so lucky to have found Perfect Harmony!

Chris is great with my kiddo and does a fantastic job meeting her where she's at with her musical abilities. If she isn't understanding something, he works to find a different way that she can understand. He's well versed in so many musical genres and is incredibly easy to work with. Thanks Chris for developing a love of music in our kid.

Chris has been so helpful working with my 13 year old songwriter-singer daughter! She leaves lessons focused and inspires and really enjoys working with Chris! Chris’ knowledge and experience is fantastic as well!

We love the positive instruction and fun that Chris gives our daughter! She has learned so much on the piano in a short period of time thanks to his ability to teach the fundamentals while making it a happy and emgaging place to be! Our daughter looks forward to coming every week!

What can we say?!?!? Our family has loved "Teacher Chris" for years! His enthusiasm and caring nature have helped our little ukulele player grow and shine. [He even willingly took on my husband for guitar lessons!]

Chris is an amazing musician and a wonderful teacher! My children are so fortunate to have found him! We are blessed to have Perfect Harmony near us.

Chris is a fantastic music teacher. As an adult student, I didn't know what to expect, but was very happy with my lessons and when my daughter is ready I wouldn't hesitate to send her to him. He has a passion for what he does and is very talented and able to really pace the lessons to the student's skill level and ability.

We were fortunate that Perfect Harmony had an opening for my pianist daughter. Chris's approach is to build a firm foundation in basic music theory, which I really appreciate. My daughter will never be lost on a piece of music as she learns these great skills. The music studio is quiet and comfortable and there's a soft couch for parents in the same room. Chris is easygoing, patient, and a good communicator to both student and parent. We really feel we're into something good and I look forward to my daughter's music confidence increasing.

Chris is the piano teacher for both of my girls at beginner level. Girls feel him friendly and comfortable to be with. I hope my girls enjoy learning music, and Chris does the job. Girls take their pace practicing, and improving. They feel music is fun! I would recommend Chris to other beginner piano learners.
