Chris Bacavis

Chris currently teaches elementary music, piano, and music theory at the Colorado Springs Conservatory. Prior to this, he worked for nearly 5 years at Community Prep Charter School, an alternative high school campus in downtown Colorado Springs, where he developed and taught multiple courses related to music performance and theory, studio recording, and song and lyric writing. As an educator, Chris has always had an active interest in collaborating with other teachers across the curriculum and conveying key music concepts in unique ways. One of his greatest passions as a teacher is to offer music as an artistic pathway for children to realize mindfulness, healing, and self-empowerment. He loves to see and celebrate his students connecting with music in ways that allow them to master vital skills, realize their enormous potential for creativity, actively collaborate with others, and apply this understanding to all areas of their lives.
