   About jim tashjian
I'm a musician/composer from the Chicago area. I go to school at the Chicago College of Performing Arts, where I am a jazz studies major. My primary instrument is guitar which I have been playing since I was 9. I also play electric bass in The 41K Hill and The Kyle Scheppman Trio. I am currently studying with John McLean at the CCPA. I have a jazz trio with my brother and college roomate Martin Stonikas. Recently, I've been writing a lot of music on acoustic guitar for a new group i've started.
