Christopher Pelaez

Guitar Teacher
Cape Coral,FL

Summary

I’ve been playing and performing music for over 15 years, focusing on guitar and saxophone. Over the last 5 years, I’ve become even more dedicated to music and sharing my knowledge with others. Through my experience in customer service, construction, and bartending, I’ve developed strong communication, patience, and problem-solving skills that I bring to every task I take on. I’m also exploring digital audio workstations and 3d visual arts to explore technology in music. My passion for music, combined with my work ethic and ability to connect with people, makes me eager to contribute as a Guitar Instructor at Guitar Center.
