Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Viola Bass Guitar Fiddle Double Bass Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I typically use a combination of methods in the private lesson setting-method books, etude books, books for technique, solo repertoire, and pop/rock/jazz music and or charts for contemporary study. For beginners, I like Essential Elements 2000, Faber Method, Suzuki solo books, and easy pop music books. For more advanced students, I will incorporate advanced methods such as etude books/orchestral excerpts along with repertoire geared more towards polishing for recital or performance. Read More

In January 2004 I left Stockholm for Madrid, looking for new experiences as a Percussionist, Composer and Producer. In Spain I shared stage as well as studios with various artist such as Aute, Beatriz Luengo, Andy Lucas, Victoria Abril, David Bisbal, Paco Ortega, Habana Blues, David Bustamante, YADAM and Cruceta Flamenco among many others. I then moved to Miami, where I have been residing for the past 12 years. During this time I have been Musical Director, Vibraphonist, Percussionist and Composer of my own project Alfredo Chacn Groove, with which I have recorded 3 albums and have performed in clubs and festivals.

Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching at a music summer camp 3 years ago. Since then, I have been teaching private students. I encourage regular practice sessions. This is one of the key points I like to emphasize for beginners especially, as it tends to help the student progress, gain a passion for the instrument, and build discipline. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy music, motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I use a very easy to read and understand series of books for my beginners: Bastien Piano Basics Piano, Performance, Technic, and Theory Books. Once students matriculate through these books (series 1 and 2), I switch to John Thompson's books. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I'm comfortable teaching students ages 4+ but prefer starting at 7. Most of the time I'll use John Thompson series adding knowledge of harmony, rhythm and scales. I tailor my lessons to specific interest/needs of the each student. Currently I'm writing my own methods (voice & piano) in a series of progresive books/videos. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Electric Violin Fiddle Music Keyboard Classical Guitar
With young beginner string students, I typically will start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. After a few weeks of that, the student will have grasped the fundamentals. and then I will introduce the Suzuki method, supplementing with the O'Connor Method. For piano I generally will start with the Suzuki method and supplement with any songs the student is interested in learning. For Adults I try to find out what style of music the student is interested in, and how much experience they have and structure my lessons accordingly to keep the student engaged and ensure they are having fun!

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone
For all students I believe in technique. For vocal students I start with working on how to have a free flowing sound and work on the natural sounds that can be created by each individual students. Many people "create" their sounds, trying to mimic someone they have heard in the past. I can help foster the best sound for you and apply it to repertoire that is appropriate and that you enjoy!! As far as saxophone and piano, I begin at the beginning. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
There are certain steps to take in order to practice more effectively. First, practice the music by measure, and cut the measure in half if you need to. The more you cut those difficult passages of music into smaller pieces the easier it would be to learn. Think, bite-size mini measures. (This also cuts practicing time up to 50 % so practice smarter not harder! Practicing slow = faster learning. If something is getting frustrating just stop and go to something else. It's better to practice another piece of music than to stop practicing all together!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You know your child is ready to start lessons if they bug you about it, you buy them the instrument, they start taking lessons and you don't have to bother them about practice! When a student doesn't give you a hard time about practice, you know they are ready to make the commitment to practice and learn their instrument. When they sit at the piano without you telling them to you know they have a passion for learning. And for younger kids such as toddlers and children ages 4- 6; when you see they look forward to lessons every week, they are ready to make the commitment to taking lessons.
When will I start to see results?
That's a really good question. The answer really depends on how much you put into this. Like anything in life, the more you commit, the more you get out of it. I've seen students take years and years to learn an instrument and I've seen students learn how to play the piano in two- five years. I've also seen students start playing a song in the first lesson! And then I have students come back to class with a lesson that hasn't been learned. This all depends on you. Practicing every week, coming to class prepared, being on top of your child's practice routine, all of these things are important.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, I had a teacher that inspired me. Honestly, it was my piano teacher. Before I took piano, my older sister did. Every time I accompanied my sister to her piano classes, I used to love hearing her teacher play. It wasn't long until my mom asked her if I can play also and, I soon started taking piano lessons. I used to love coming to piano class, and going to recitals every year. I also liked taking my piano exams at the end of the year because that's when I got my trophies and certificate. I still have them, now they're in my piano studio!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the piano because, If you can play the piano you can pretty much learn any instrument you want. The piano is the foundation of all of the instruments. Theory wise, you can also understand theory concepts much faster because you can literally see the theory concepts right in front of you. And of course, I love the sound. Another fun fact, it makes it really easy to write music too. When I'm not teaching I like to write music in the studio. What I also like about the piano is that you can also solo. You really don't need anyone else to play the melody or the harmony, the piano can do both!
