John Peter Giunta
No two of his programs are alike. He is articulate in revealing himself and his artistic ideas during a program. This adds an incomparable spontaneity and unpredictability to the performances. His life experiences as a US Army Paratrooper/Survival Instructor, yoga teacher and veterans employment counselor indicate that this man is complex.
John holds a teaching certificate in Hatha yoga from the Himalayan Institute. He is a certified practitioner of Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy. He has been a student and practitioner of meditation since 1974. These factors bring an introspective, meditative quality to his improvisational composing. He teaches and provides help for people with performance anxiety. He is a published author in the subjects of yoga and music.
John attended Juilliard and the Mannes College of Music in New York City and holds a Master of Arts Degree in classical guitar performance from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. He has over 20 years of performing experience on 6 musical instruments, to include orchestra appearances, a national tour of "Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris," radio, television, and the stage to include off-Broadway shows, Town Hall and Lincoln Center in New York City.
