Welcome to Critt’s Music Life Studio!

I’m all about the EXPERIENCE of music and the EXPERIENCE of performance. The better your experience, the better the audience’s experience. And when the audience has a great experience, that means you’ve got a career—and a long career at that! Consider me more of a coach—together, we’ll tweak what’s there, add what isn’t, and blend it with a whole lotta YOU so that you not only attain your goals on your instrument, but your goals in your music career and your life.
