    About Efren M.

    Note: For those who are reading that awful review from Judith, please know that it is sad to hear how opinionated and hateful someone that cancels all the time and rarely does any work can be, I do not put up with inconsistency and irresponsible behavior, other teachers see students as a paycheck, to me it is important to see progress and joy. I am strict and loving as a Piano teacher should be. As long as you show up and get involved there are never issues. Now my biography: Started Piano and formal Music instruction at age 10. Joined University of the Americas School of Music in 1997 where he became a Piano student of international Piano authorities such as Daniel Rodriguez, Carmen Badillo and Dr. Misa Ito Studied Composition, Orchestration, Music Theory, Chorus ensemble and Counterpoint with Dr. Brian Banks, Studied Advanced Ensemble and Music Theory with Cellist Juan Hermida Studied Musicology and Music History with Dr. Luisa Vilar Paya, Dean of Humanities at the University of The Americas. While already working in South Florida as a Music Teacher, he attended Graduate studies at Florida Atlantic University where he studied Piano with Leonid Treer, Edward/Anne Louis Turgeon and also Music Production and Commercial Music with eminent scholar Michael Zager, former producer of Whitney Houston. I have the best approach and methodology for my students to play free of fear and insecurity.

    I'm an adult who had NO fun whatsoever to go to my piano classes due to the fact that Efren has a controlling style approach. All you have to do is listen to what he has to say, you can't get a word in and is condescending. I can't even imagine being a child and having to put up with his bullying.

    Excellent Teacher Efren is an amazing teacher. He is very patient with my daughter and is really great at getting her to focus. She has made great progress in the time that he has been teaching her!
