About Chris
My services stand out because of place in the Entertainment Industry in LA and NY. I produce live singing events, arrange the vocals, sing in many of the bookings, play piano on many of the bookings, and cast directly from my own company Chris Wade Music Productions. This year alone I have provided vocal talent, arranged vocals and created music content and shows etc for 3 commercials, two music videos, produced my choir for two Coachella performances, produced my singers in starring acts in 40 huge live events, and have two original musicals being produced in NYC. I make my living singing, playing piano, music directing etc.
Additionally I often play piano, conduct, music direct and vocal direct for Riverside Unified School District's musicals including the Honors Musicals. I work with young people, teens, young adults and not so young adults :)

Start by seeing what skill level they are currently at by asking them to demonstrate something in their craft.
Then, we will work on a few things I notice that could use improving upon, and work on developing techniques to aid in advancement.
I have worked with a wide range of ages and skill levels. From young people with highly developed talent, to older people just starting out and everything in between. I have worked with Broadway singers and TV personalities and major celebrities.
Google and research (Facebook, Instagram etc) the potential teachers and make sure you like them, know them and trust them!
This year (2019) a commercial I booked and shot aired nationally for four months, featuring the Barbershop Quartet I produce - in a spot featuring us playing basketball and singing!
(concealed information)
That's me at the beginning (the tall guy - and blond in this ad!) blowing the pitch pipe and leading the group.
The audition and call back was November 2018 and the shoot was Dec 2018. The spot aired Feb-June 2019! Amazing experience!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Students should focus on their immediate goals and long term goals, what they wish to get out of the lessons - and relay this information to the teachers of their choosing, so everyone is on the same page. If imporvement is not met within a few lessons, perhaps a new direction or course for improvement or change of teacher is necessary.

Chris is not only a master of all his instruments, but is a wonderful teacher. He breaks things down and explains things so that they are easy to absorb and understand. He is also great to work with and a team player.
