Solo Guitar Performance
Providing solo classical guitar performances for weddings, receptions, private parties, and corporate events. Musical selections range from lute works of the Renaissance to modern day pieces composed or arranged for the classical guitar.
Who am I?
My name is Chris Argenziano and I have have been a music lover for as far back as I can remember. I began my musical journey on the trumpet but soon fell in love with the sounds of the guitar. I picked up the guitar at the age of fifteen ( that is quite a while ago now!) and haven't put it down since. My formal music education took place at North Dakota State University where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Music and a Masters of Music in Classical Guitar Performance. I currently work as Professor of Guitar at Valley City State University and teach group guitar classes at NDSU. When I am not teaching I perform on solo guitar and with the jazz and classical guitar duo Twelve Strings, an original folk/americana group called The Gina Powers Band, as well as the acoustic duo called Ben and the Beard.

“Chris was great at taking the time to determine my level of play and adapting his lessons accordingly. He also took the time to learn what my goals were and worked towards getting me closer to them. I would highly recommend Chris.” -J.S.
“Chris is amazingly patient. My daughter has ADHD and he was wonderful. As soon as she is ready we will be coming back. She really made a connection with him.” -N.O.
“Phenomenal!!!!!! Chris was flexible, professional, talented, and overall amazing! He performed at my wedding and we could not be happier with his work.”-M.M
“I took acoustic lessons with Chris for three months and am only stopping because I'm moving away. He's a great teacher, and impressively versatile. In particular, I'm a novice guitarist but an experienced musician, and the material he selected and his presentation of it were clearly developed with that in mind. I recommend his guitar lessons without reservation.”-J.F.
