"Chris’s experience, musicianship and patience are the key qualities of a well-rounded teacher."

- Dave Williard, Professional piano teacher/musician


"I've known Chris Beers for many years and have gigged with him in all kinds of settings: rock, blues, jazz, country, ragtime and more. He's a solid timekeeper with a great natural groove and his playing is not only rhythmically interesting, but musical in its own right. I've called him for my own gigs, played with him in bands where we were both sidemen, and passed along his name for gigs I wasn't even on. I'd recommend him to anyone."

– Chris Soucy, touring musician/guitar player for Sally Taylor


"A pro to work with. Creative, musical and proficient."

– John Ellis, Owner/engineer, Prism Sound Studios
