Chris Whiteman
Chris Whiteman, a native of Montclair, began his musical journey with the trumpet at age 10. At 13 he was introduced to the guitar, which quickly became his primary focus. Initially inspired by blues and rock guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy, and B.B. King, Chris later studied classical guitar in high school. After graduation, he enrolled at Virginia Commonwealth University as a classical guitar major before shifting his focus to jazz. He later transferred to the University of Miami, where he earned both a Bachelor of Music and a Master of Music in jazz studies.
As an educator, Chris has held faculty positions at the University of Miami and The College of William & Mary.
