About Darío

Hi there! My name Darío Serrato, and I'm a music educator, bass player, and multi-instrumentalist originally from Central Mexico and now based in Illinois. I specialize in early childhood music education, but I also teach students of all ages - from toddlers to teens, to adult beginners and advance learners alike. 

Over the past decade, I've taught in a wide range of educational centers, schools  and music institutions. My approach is joyful, structured and student-centered focused not only on building strong technical foundations but also nurturing creativity, self-expression, and emotional connection to music. 

I'm also an active composer, arranger, and live performer, which allows me to bring a dynamic, up-to-date, and real-world perspective to each lessons. Whether we're working on groove, technique, or stage presence, I aim to make music a meaningful and fulfilling part of each student's life.
