String Theory School of Music

String Theory School of Music was founded in 2007 by Chris and Amy Leigh.  Chris, a professional guitarist and private music instructor since 1987, joined forces with his wife, a high school teacher, to create their vision for an ideal place to learn and work.  From the start, String Theory was NOT a music store.  The Leighs were determined that they would never look at students as fuel for a retail outlet. They have consistently added products and services only at the request and suggestion of their students. "Students are the focus here.  Our job is to provide everything they need to have a great experience."The Leighs, along with daughter Charlotte, began their adventure in a small basement office space in East Lyme.  Rolling up their sleeves, the family renovated and furnished their space on a shoestring budget and began their quest to change the way students engage in private music instruction.  Stressing both learning and application, they began their monthly coffee houses soon after opening.  Their YouTube page now boasts over 600 student performances!Determined to build a school where instructors embrace cutting edge teaching methods along with a superlative dedication to the quality of their performaces, the Leighs extended offers to join their staff with care.  At String Theory, instructors must demonstrate the capacity for consistently delivering the highest quality of musicianship AND teaching practices.
