Darrell has worked at the primary, secondary/preparatory, and tertiary levels at some of the top-rated private schools in New York; conducting and directing since 1986.  He has been a professional producer, performer and private instructor/mentor in Austin, Texas since 2009.

I'm a passionate and experienced instructor who's love for teaching and music is personified through each and every student I teach. I have been a musician since grade school playing percussion for the school band. I am a professional musician as well and have unlimited experience as well as knowledge to share with my students. I also have a bachelors degree in Music and Sound recording from The University of New Haven. My goal as a teacher is to give my students not only exposure to different types of music, but to help them work hard towards reaching their own personal goals.

I'm a musician who is as passionate about teaching as I am performing. I graduated from the University of Texas with an honors degree in Philosophy with a Music minor.  Since then, I've been working as a performing musician and teacher, playing in various groups around town and at festivals. 

I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves to share in the knowledge and joy of music.  I graduated in May of 2014 with a Bachelor of Music degree in Composition, with a Certificate in Vocal Performance.  I've sung in excellent choirs, played in wonderful symphony orchestras, and jammed in rockin funk bands, performing in major cities in the U.S. and Europe.  I recently accompanied a production of Shakespeare's Antony & Cleopatra as a violist, and am currently gigging and recording as a pianist/keyboard player, guitarist, and backup vocalist in a couple of bands.  I am also composing "classical" music for various musicians and ensembles.  

I'm an enthusiastic and driven teacher who loves to help students realize their personal musical goals. In 2012, I graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in Composition from Trinity University and in 2014, I earned an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts. I've performed a wide variety of music with everyone from orchestras to pop and folk bands throughout my life. I've also consistently written my own music and performed it in a variety of settings, including recently completing a national US tour of my original songs. My studio reflects these various interests with a clean environment and an organized collection of instruments and books.
