Daniel is an excellent instructor. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about teaching music. He is patient and supportive, while still giving honest feedback and constructive criticism. He helps the student find his/her own motivation to play by chosing different techniques as well as musical pieces that will inspire the student to want to play/practice.

Patient, encouraging & doesn't burst out laughing at my attempts. He is very knowledgeable about multiple instruments as well as music theory. I feel he is an excellent instructor & I will sign up for further lessons...as soon as I can!

I'm having a great time learning the piano and the structure Daniel presented me has been wonderful. He utilizes a perfect balance on constructive criticism and positive reinforcement that makes me push myself even more! I'm very pleased!

Dan is a superb instructor. He is extremely positive and offers highly constructive criticism. Having played the trombone for 10 years from elementary school into college, he related new ideas in singing back to themes that I could conjure up from 20 years ago.
Part of the good experience was due to Dan's adroitly combining theory with applicability.
I am currently considering whether to continue lessons or not. (I have other scheduling conflicts.) But I would readily return to Dan for instruction.

Dan is incredibly knowledgeable in (seemingly) all areas of music. My goal is to learn vocals, which honestly makes me a little nervous. Dan is very good about taking away any self-consciousness while imparting knowledge at the same time.
