1-on-1 Coaching with Chris
Write better music, land more clients, and build your dream career through personal mentorship and coaching.
Are you currently stuck in your music?
If so - you're not the only one.
If I had to put money on it, I'd bet that you've been working on and improving your skills for years, if not decades. You may be able to write a memorable theme, produce your track, and put together a mix that sounds halfway decent!
But the problem is - when you compare your tracks to those written by your favourite artists, they pale in comparison.
Suddenly, your mockup sounds synthetic and lifeless, everything feels unbalanced, and your track seems to lack a unique identity - causing you to feel frustrated and overwhelmed.
Not only this - you subconsciously know that because your tracks aren't at the level they should be, you're preventing yourself from attracting clients and finding new opportunities with your music.
These are ALL common problems and roadblocks composers encounter when making music, and I know this because I've made all these mistakes myself.
Here's the truth - talent alone isn't enough.
The most successful composers who are truly confident in their craft and bring in consistent work aren't more talented than you - they simply had guidance, mentorship, and a clear roadmap to navigate the process and the industry.
This was certainly the case for me in my piano journey - I wouldn't have won as many piano competitions and graduated from a degree in classical performance if I didn't have incredible mentors and teachers guiding me through each step of the way!
Over the course of my composing career thus far, I've made all the mistakes.
I had to figure everything out for myself - whether it be figuring out which sample libraries are the best for orchestral production, creating mockups and mixes that reach a professional standard, or attracting my dream clients and keeping them coming back - it took years of trial and error.
That's why I'm offering private mentorship and coaching.
You don't need more information. This isn't just another course where you join, life gets in the way, and you never come back to it.
This is structured, personalized coaching and accountability that allows you to bypass all the mistakes you could be making, and take the fastest path to growth and lasting transformation.
This is coaching based on a decade of experience - tailored to helping you write and produce world-class music, while taking that next step and monetizing your craft.
Throughout our time together, here are a few of the benefits you can expect:
- Exponential growth in your music - with honest, direct feedback on your music, you'll understand exactly how to improve (without the trial and error).
- A simplified, streamlined workflow - so you can make music without getting caught up in the noise.
- Develop your unique voice - so your music contains its own identify and stands on its own.
- Build a website and portfolio - attracting the right clients and positioning you as a professional.
- Turn your skills into opportunities - from paid commissions to client work and collaborations, you'll begin monetizing your skills and build your career.
- Develop a newfound confidence & motivation - allowing you to write and publish more music on a regular basis.
Here's what's included as a private coaching client:
- 12 months of direct mentorship - work closely with me for an entire year.
- Two (biweekly) private coaching calls each month - 90 minutes of laser focused, high-level guidance and feedback each call.
- Full access to my product suite - get complete access to my courses, ranging from composing and orchestration to piano skills and ear training.
- 24/7 access to Chris - get feedback and coaching via email and messenger, anytime you need it.
Why students work with me:
From day 1, my mission has been to empower you to create beautiful music.
From the basics of writing a melody to mixing & mastering your track, I truly believe that having full control over your process gives you a real confidence that shows in your music.
This is exactly what I help my clients with - taking them from 0 to achieving career milestones, including writing for major labels, having their music performed live at AIR Studios, and landing reliable clients who keep coming back for more!
Personally, not only do I feel blessed to be able to make the music I've always wanted to make, but I'm in a position where I can pick and choose the projects I work on.
The best part - I get to earn a living doing what I love (making and teaching music), while strengthening the relationships with my friends and family and enjoying a balanced life.
If your desire is to make incredible music without the overwhelm and burnout (with the ability to turn it into a career), I'd love to help.
Hear from my students:
"Hello Chris,
I am proud to have written my first real piece of music after collecting info and trying things out for several years. Your courses have helped my in that regards and your feedback has further motivated me to eventually finish the track.
There are so many details one has to remember when writing classical or cinematic music but it's one thing to know something in principle having read it somewhere, and another to receive direct comments.
Together with your extensive courses, I can highly recommend you as an instructor."

Do you qualify for private coaching?
I only take a few private coaching clients each year, and this program certainly isn't for everyone.
This is for you if:
- You've been writing music for a few years, but you're feeling stuck in your progress.
- You value your time, and are tired of wasting hours on figuring out your sample libraries and technology.
- You're committed to working together for at least 12 months (this is not a monthly membership).
- You want to begin monetizing your skills, whether it be through offering your services, taking on freelance projects, and more.
- You'll show up ready to learn and implement what we discuss.
This is NOT for you if:
- You're an absolute beginner - I'd recommend taking a few of my courses first to learn the basics.
- You're looking for specific techniques on scoring for films/video games - I focus on helping my students write standalone pieces that can stand out in your portfolio.
- You're unable to invest in the program - my coaching rate is currently $2,000/month.
- You're unwilling to make this program a priority - you'll be receiving my undivided attention throughout our time together, and I'd ask that you also make it a priority to attend all our coaching calls and implement everything you learn.
I'm ready - what's next?
If everything looks good and you're ready to work together, that's fantastic!
The next step is simple - please apply by clicking the button below.
It'll take you to a short questionnaire where I'll get the chance to learn more about you, and if I think we'd be a great fit, I'll reach out shortly with more details!
To recap, the rate for this coaching program is currently $2,000/month. If you'd prefer to pay for the year upfront, I'd be happy to offer 2 months free. Just let me know which option you'd prefer on the questionnaire.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
