Teen/Tween Rock Winter 2025
If you are interested in our next session, please use our chat feature to contact us.
This class is designed to immerse teens in a “band-style” setting, allowing them to play alongside peers and develop essential group-playing skills. The Teen Rock class not only teaches students how to perform music in a collaborative environment, but also fosters a supportive community where they can connect with others who share their love of music.
Class Requirements:
Skill Level: Students should be at an intermediate level, able to play through songs and have a basic grasp of music fundamentals.
Song Selection: The instructor will select songs suited to the group’s skill level, ensuring both challenge and enjoyment.
Private Lessons: While not required, we highly recommend that students continue private lessons to enhance their progress during the session.
Instrument Role: Students will gain an understanding of their instrument's role within a band and how to blend and interact musically with others.
At the end of the session, students will showcase their skills in a live performance at a local venue!

Meet the Instructor: Christopher Clauss
Christopher is a Multi-instrumentalist singer-song writer from the east coast with a passion for performing and teaching music!
Originally a classically trained Violist, at 14 he changes his focus and picked up the electric guitar. Christopher has been blessed to front his own band, to learn and perform incredible music with some of his best friends, and to live a life that has been full of wonder and new connections and friendships.
After picking up the bass, and subsequently the drum kit and keyboard, Christopher set up his home studio and dove into the world of music engineering and production.
This desire to always learn and expand his knowledge has filled Christopher’s professional career with joy and experiences he cherishes.
Beginning in 2016, with a strong desire to share his passion with other inspired people, Christopher began teaching music to students both one on one, and in band-group settings at Lakehouse Music Studios in Asbury Park, NJ.
His teaching style is fun and patient, and focuses not just on technique and theory, but the innate connection we have with music; why do we feel emotionally touched by certain notes or moments in a song? His goal is to help students of all interests connect their inner passion, their experiences, and their hearts with their instrument to bring the experience of playing music to a whole new level.
He has toured the country and recorded albums playing with some of his favorite independent bands as a drummer, bassist and guitarist, such as progressive metal group Beatrix Potter, indie folk band The Accidental Seabirds, and hard rock group Baron Praxis.
With over fourteen years of experience performing in diverse genres, from folk to jazz to rock and metal and even Indian classical music, he is always looking for something new to learn and to share with his students.
