Chris has lived most of his life in Texas, especially in-between San Antonio and Austin in a town called New Braunfels. He attended the University of North Texas, graduating with a BA in Jazz Studies with a concentration in saxophone performance. He is currently earning his Master’s degree in Jazz Composition at the Manhattan School of Music. Music education interests him deeply because, from a complete beginner to the most virtuosic heroes of music, he believes we are all constantly learning and growing. He will always be immensely eager to help others explore, practice, and connect with the emotions, ideas, and change that comes from music.
