MusiKidz Piano Studio

About

My name is Mr. Surroca. I've been playing piano and singing for almost 30 years. I received my Music Bachelor's Degree from Florida International University in 2011. I've taught in Miami and in Southwest Florida for almost 11-12 years. I have a passion for what I do and my goal is for young children, teens and adults to have a passion for music as well. I want them to become great performers that understand how to play, read, understand theory, and have a love for studying music history. If you register with me, you'll have the best piano/voice lessons ever because of my love for music.

I love my job because I get to work with all the age groups. Yes, I focus on K-12 grade level students, but I have taught young adults and adults as well. I enjoy what I do because having a passion for music has allowed me to live life in a special way. I never have felt obligated to teach. I felt a calling over my life to share my passion and I couldn't keep it to myself. I believe people have to share their talents and allow others to grow their talents as well.

    Frequently asked questions

    I typically introduce the piano and voice as a new instrument. If you take piano lessons with me, I go over the structure of the piano/keyboard so that all my students understand where Middle C is and where most of the notes are at. I also incorporate a beginners version of music theory using music apps from my iPad. Then, I use beginner songs from many different method books. One of my favorite method books includes James Bastian and Jennifer Eklund's Piano Pronto. But I have used many method books across my many piano/voice lessons.

    I have been playing piano and singing since I was a young child. I started playing piano and singing since I've been 6-7 years old. I have been playing and singing for almost 30 years. I received my music performance Bachelors Degree from Florida International University in 2011. I have taught piano and voice to K-12 aged children, teens, and young adults. I have also taught adults. My background encompasses classical, rock, jazz, and pop performance. I also enjoy teaching students repertoire that they personally enjoy. I do have my methods of teaching, but I always aim to give any student a well rounded instruction of how to advance in their technique as a pianist, technique as a vocal student, become versatile as a musician and gain a passion for all aspects of music performance.
    I have two methods of charging lessons to students: 30 minute lessons or 60 minute lessons. To learn more about my pricing system, please contact me now!
    I began teaching piano/voice when I was in college. I always wanted to teach privately, but I still became a well-rounded musician in many areas of music and taught in private and charter schools. I currently hold my professional license to teach K-12 in schools in Florida, but I do have my own business outside of school called "MusiKidz Piano Studio". I still continue teaching in the SW area of Florida. Currently, I am part of the National Guild of Piano Teachers.
    I work with beginner, intermediate, advanced & professional performers.
    In college, Dr. Augenblick (choir director) invited us to sing backup vocals at the AAA stadium with an artist that was getting known. It felt nice performing at the AAA stadium even if it was for 15-20 minutes.
    I would shop around for a teacher that has a passion for what they currently teach. If they love to teach children and have patience to teach well and slowly, that teacher will go far with a student looking to become a great musician.
    Students should ask their teachers what styles of music they enjoy. Many pianists and singers usually go to school to learn a classically based system, but a great teacher is a teacher that knows how to go beyond just one style. I consider myself a classical pianist, but took many lessons when discovering jazz, pop, and blues. A teacher that goes outside of the normal classical style could possibly be your next fun and exciting teacher. Also, if a teacher has a sense of humor and loves to make kids laugh, every student will have a strong connection with their teacher. Lessons shouldn’t be boring. Lessons should be fun and interactive. Use the iPads for theory, notes, beats, and rhythm.
