Lessons
Pick the sound your child is drawn to — or tell Cristina “not sure yet” and she’ll help you find the right first step. Every lesson below is a private, one-to-one lesson, at your child’s pace.
A gentle first step
Small, light, and kind to young fingers — a joyful way to start making music right away, with songs your child can sing along to.
Beginner guitar
For children ready for six strings: steady, encouraging first steps into chords, strumming, and playing songs they actually know and love.
Cristina’s own instrument
A warm, expressive sound, taught by a saxophonist. Children learn how the instrument speaks — breath, tone, and their very first notes and melodies.
