I make strong emphasis on proper technique and hand positioning from the very beginning, as well as developing quality of sound and musicality.

I am a multi instrumentalist who is passionate about teaching music. I am excited about teaching the next generation of students pianist, and vocalist.

I studied music at Palm Beach State College and was apart of the Jazz band. Read More

Each lesson is structured with clear objectives while remaining responsive to the students mood, progress, and individual goals. I offer live demonstrations, real-time feedback, and even practice check-ins between sessions. For students who enjoy projects, we may collaborate on original compositions, studio-style recordings, or performance videos they can proudly share. I also provide personalized practice plans and digital resources after each session to guide students throughout the week. No matter where a student lives or what level theyre starting from, I strive to make them feel seen, heard, and fully supported. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. 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 Keyboard
I typically start each student off on a series of lesson books to help structure their learning in an academic way. However, I highly encourage bringing in classical pieces and students picking pieces of their own and bringing them to me to go over and learn. I’ve found that this keeps the students highly motivated and passionate about their lessons and practice. For beginners, the books are highly recommended, but for more advanced students who have finished the books, we begin classical technique exercises meant to help with the increasing level of difficulty of their songs.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session starts with relaxation , deep and slow breathing , mental focus and visualization of the action about to take place. Finding the correct position and start with slow ,light notes for some minutes in order to focus and relax. In the guitar it would be right hand notes on each string and then slow easy melodies and two part contrapuntal music. In the piano ,slow and light symmetrical excercises on both hands slowly stretching out and in with the objective of warming up.
A small break of 5-10 minutes
A second session of either slow left hand patterns from boogie-woogie or blues in the form of a vamp or a groove and then finding a way to input either lines or chords with the right hand or an alternate session of slow two part and then three part contrapuntal music alla Bach. For Guitar either a session of right hand rasgueados or strumming different rhythms or bass patterns to create a vamp until ideas flow on how to input melodies in between strong beats or and alternate section of slow Bach music.
A short break and a third section of scales and arpeggios
A short break and a final section of repertoire.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is from Havana Cuba. The system is set for a degree in both performance and teaching for instruments. Anyone who graduates from performance also graduates as a teacher.
I chose performance on my instrument because I love it but I was ok with the array of other subjects that are mandatory among them piano as a second instrument and all the music theory and history.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
In guitar my dream piece is Rememberings of Alhambra by Francisco Tarrega. I love it because it is a tremolo piece and the melody is extremely beautiful which makes it sound magical.
In piano I love an arrangement for Air on the G string by Bach because of its depth , majesty and emotion.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Probably translation or teaching languages.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Late romantic ,early impressionistic with a pinch of world music , bit of the blues and jazz. Somewhere between Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, George Gershwin , Ravel and Joaquin Rodrigo. I think Rodrigo represents my Spanish heritage, Ravel is refined , Tedesco was the teacher of John Williams and Gershwin is a riot.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Guitar was easier to get. It was popular and accessible but piano is very important for music theory and composition. It also creates more sound and wider range. Voice is the most direct communicator of words and messages.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My father sang at home and in parties with friends and acquaintances. He also had a good appreciation for music of classical and operatic provenance. My uncle on my father's side became a wonderful popular guitar player by sheer genius. Sophisticated chords accompanying his popular songs and ballads in Spanish and a good singer too. All natural. On my mother's side, my aunt has a velvet voice and gorgeous singing and two of my cousins became professional musicians of popular and dance music in the guitar in their neighborhood where they did the parties.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Not long after starting music at age nine I knew this is my companion for life as a profession. It was not a gradual decision it was pretty much natural and spontaneous. Music was a prestigious and nice profession in Cuba , in Havana where many venues were built for that purpose and many people take lessons out of love for the music and the fun it provides.
