About Me

Travis Chastain is a Classical Guitarist and native Coloradan who recently graduated with his Master’s in Music degree from the University of Denver where he also received his Bachelor’s in Music degree in 2009.
Travis’s talent for music performance has been recognized in his solo and chamber endeavors, winning him honorable mention in the 2010 Lamont School of Music Chamber competition as well as acceptance into the New England Conservatory, University of Southern California, and the University of Denver with praise from prestigious performers Elliot Fisk, William Kannengeiser, and Ricardo Iznaola.
While showing promise as a performer, Travis’s true passion is the teaching of music and the powerful impact it has on people’s lives. For the past 7 years he has been teaching guitar to young, aspiring artists and recreational players alike and believes that music is not just about achieving proficiency on an instrument, it is about overcoming challenges and the confidence that comes with it.
