I have been gigging, both classically and in jazz, in the greater DFW Metroplex for about 9 years. I attended high school close by, and I am the only two-time 6A All-State tenor trombonist in my city's history. I have completed two years at the University of North Texas, and have been teaching for approximately two years. I consistently double between tenor & bass trombone, having a great deal of experience in both instruments, in both classical and jazz settings. Outside of trombone, I also play trumpet/cornet, tuba, vocals, guitar, bass, and piano. I am an avid rock/metal listener, and compose my own music, mainly fusing metal and jazz. Because of this, I feel this makes me an extremely diverse instrumentalist. I have studied with such influential figures as Tony Baker (UNT, Dallas Opera Orchestra), Steve Menard (UNT, Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra), Dennis Bubert (UT Arlington, Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra), and more.

About Daniel C.

Daniel began playing music in 6th grade. His dad is a guitarist/vocalist/flautist (he gigs in the south DFW area) and brought him up in a very musical household. Since then, Daniel has played with groups such as Scott & Steve, Big Gus & Swampadelic, the Pecos River Brass Big Band, and the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra. Please feel free to visit his personal website at danieljcosio.com to view both more info about Daniel and his full availability.

Note: As of August 2020, Daniel will be relocating from Dallas, TX to Minneapolis, MN.

Very "in tune" with my student. Really gave 100% of his attention to the lesson. I would highly recommend this instructor.

Experience

Freelance Music Lesson Teacher
Aug 2015 - Present

(Self)

I have taught private lessons by myself for 2 years and some change. My students have varied from beginners to advanced level college students, ranging from jazz to classical. As I have experience in everything from wind band performances to arranging, from professional auditions to jazz gigs, I feel that I have a unique skill set that allows me to cater to just about any student that comes my way.

Brass & Piano Lesson Teacher/Shop Associate
Apr 2017 - Aug 2017

Music Place Mansfield

I taught brass and piano lessons at this Fine Arts Conservatory over the summer of 2017, before I moved back to UNT in August. My students ranged from beginners to advanced college students. I was also a Shop Associate, meaning I was in charge of selling all merchandise, as well as handling all instrument rentals and supply orders for the beginning of the new academic year. We supplied numerous beginning students from four different schools with new instruments for the school year.
