Giancarlo Caffarena
Instructor/Professional Musician
Born and raised in Houston I’ve been performing with bands since my high school days at Strake Jesuit. I have enjoyed teaching students of all levels for 25 years. There are several instruments that I have mastered but the Chapman Stick® is the one that I most enjoy playing live. My band, The Matchsticks ( www.matchstickband.com ) is available for private events from Weddings to Corporate Parties and casual back yard BBQ’s. Prices vary from solo gigs to 5 piece ensembles.

About
Sugar Music Institute was established in 2005 when we acquired a studio in Sugar Land on Oyster Creek near the Imperial Sugar Factory just south of highway 90. Over the years we have taught many students of all ages and skill levels. Our studio is a bright space with all types of instruments and lots of music memorabilia inspiring students to play and learn. We use a method of teaching that makes it both fun and functional. We believe in teaching you to play the music that you love.
In addition to the studio sessions we also schedule house calls for students at their convenience from Katy to Houston.
Pricing - Private lessons begin at $20/30min. or $40/hr. at our studio in Sugar Land. Virtual lessons are $50/hr. House calls start at $70/hr.

I have studied percussion from many parts of the world focusing on West African and Latin/ Brazilian drumming. I speak Spanish, English and Portuguese.
Students should never practice but always perform!
I have played with many different fantastic musicians and enjoy learning every day.
