Christopher was raised in a family of teachers and musicians.   His mother was a concert pianist with whom he dedicated numerous hours of duet rehearsing and performing on the musical instrument, the cello.   His formal musical training was conducted across the country including Baltimore (Institute of Music) and the State of New York (Westport).  Other colleges where he studied include Weber State University, where he studied with James McWhorter, and Montana State University-Billings, MT, where he enrolled in summer collegiate coursework and studied music with Carol Critelli.  Mr Christopher performed in numerous delightful orchestras and performs periodically as a guest artist in Utah.  His teaching experience includes several subjects in many educationally rich and diverse classrooms.  In March of April, a couple sample teaching videos explaining his approach to various musical works will be available.  Thank you.
