I was born and raised in Atlanta, and grew up on Rock 'n' Roll, Blues, and pretty much anything with a guitar. Although I studied Computer Science while at Clemson University, my main passion lied with guitar and I performed with the classical guitar ensemble. I started playing guitar at 8 years old, I have been performing off and on for about 10 years, and I am currently working on my own career in music.

My name is Max Christman and I am professional drummer/music educator. Over my career I have implemented numerous teaching practices where skills overlap so you learn how to play more than what you are even aware you are working on. I come from a background of playing in bands, so all the musical things I will show you have been used in real world situations and work. I always try and foster my students growth with working on things I know will make them excel, but always applying it in a way that keeps playing and practicing fun, interesting, and rewarding.

Music allows me to be creative and expressive in a way that I can show to other people. I love allowing other people to learn and experience music in a way that is personal and meaningful to them. I have loved music since I was little. I grew up playing in different churches since middle school. I’m excited to get people to learn how to express themselves through their instruments.
