Born in Manila, Philippines, Chance Elan Israel discovered a passion for the piano at age six, but began formal training when he was eight. Twenty years since then, Chance has graduated with a Doctorate in Musical Arts in Piano Performance from Florida State University, and garnered several awards and scholarships. Some of his most notable successes include: top prizes at the Osaka International Competition, Lyric Chamber Society Competition, Rockwood Piano Competition, and the Tampa Bay Concerto Competition. Additionally, throughout his years of experience, Israel has performed internationally, including venues in the U.S., Japan, Italy, Taiwan, and the Philippines. Aside from his rigorous performance schedule, Chance currently teaches piano at the DFW area. His daily routine involves sharing his love of music with students ranging from five to eighty-five. Outside his musical endeavors, he enjoys reading and strolling outdoors. Israel owes his musical growth to his former mentors Roberta Rust and Carmencita Arambulo.

Music has been my lifelong passion, and for four decades, I've had the joy of sharing that passion with students of all levels. My teaching combines technical mastery with creative exploration, empowering students to find their own musical voice.

I hold an AAS in Guitar Performance and am a few credits shy of a BA in Music from UTA. With over 19 years of teaching experience, I've shared my passion with students of all ages and styles. Currently, I weave melodic tales as the guitarist for La Pompe Dallas (Gypsy Jazz), the upright bassist for Justin Pickard and the Thunderbird Winos (Best Americana Dallas 2023) and The Vinyl Stripes (Rockabilly & Surf). My musical journey spans classic rock, blues, bluegrass, country, swing, gypsy jazz, rockabilly, and more. Jazz Pianist Bernard Wright mentored me as a bassist in his Jazz trio for several years. I explored diverse instruments like piano, clarinet, mandolin, dobro, oud, and African percussion. Songwriting is a forte, having been a finalist in Dallas contests. In addition to music, I once designed Media Matrix audio gear for Peavey Electronics but chose the path of playing and teaching music over-engineering. Join me for an enriching musical experience – let's dive into the world of melodies and harmonies together!
