“Christian has given my son excellent percussion instruction for the last 3 years. My son began his lessons at the age of 7 and has blossomed into a talented drummer; he formed his own band comprised of three 10 year olds and they have been playing concerts in Brooklyn…People are amazed and inspired when they see my son play the drums. Christian has created his own curriculum that stresses all the essential elements…. He has a strong belief that creating a solid foundation will allow students to be comfortable in any style of music, he asks his students for a serious commitment without taking the fun out of the experience….
Being a professional musician myself, I have played with Christian Finger and I must say he is an amazing drummer... I am so happy that my son has the chance to be taught by such a remarkable musician!”
Audra Tsanos
“ ..As a 42 year old woman just starting to play drums, I was eager to find a teacher who would be supportive.
I was immediately impressed with his combination of empathy and professionalism. As a teacher myself, I felt at ease studying with Christian because I was aware that he was not improvising his lessons. Instead it was clear that he had put much thought and planning into how he teaches….”
Angela Starita
“I highly recommend Mr. Finger, he has been teaching my daughter for almost two years. I did extensive research on teachers in the NY City area and interviewed several prospective candidates before selecting Christian. He was by far the top candidate…”
Beth Lindberg-Prather
“Mr. Finger has been teaching at our school for Music since March 2003. During this time Christian has established himself as one of our most popular teachers. Year after year his students continue to return and they always shine in performances…In his teachings, Mr. Finger demonstrates patience and often goes the extra mile to assist his students. Christian teaches students age 6 to adults and finds a way to connect with all of them through his intelligent and flexible approach…”
Noah Bloom (Director of Music Church Street School for Music)

Daniel Yee
"...our 8-year-old daughter likes the lessons a lot; she's always looking forward to her lessons with Christian, who shows a lot of dedication, energy and humor. His 'Animal Zoo' concept showed very fast results, and Ashley had a lot of fun with it."
Beth Smith
"After my lessons with Christian, I feel more motivated going to practice, because I have a strong curriculum to build from. He's an excellent teacher, and I would and have recommended him to everyone!"
