The DeCristofaros
Chatham Studio of Music & Performing Arts (CSMPA) was founded by husband-and-wife team Bryan and Brittany, who share a deep passion for music and a commitment to their community. With more than 20 years of combined teaching experience, they set out to create more than just a lesson studio, they envisioned a welcoming home for the highest quality music instruction in Chatham County.
Both Bryan and Brittany are trained musicians with diverse teaching backgrounds, and they believe strongly in the power of music to transform lives. At CSMPA, their mission is to help students of all ages grow in skill and confidence while experiencing the lifelong joy and impact of music.
