Daryl began playing flute at the age of 11, as part of a middle school band class. His band instructor noticed his innate talent, and began to prepare him for studies at the Music Advancement Program at the Juilliard School. During this two year program, Daryl studied flute with Jayn Rosenfeld, played in chamber ensembles and orchestra, while also studying music history, music theory, and ear training. Daryl also made his concerto debut playing Vivaldi's "Il Gardellino" in the final year of the program. Daryl's time at MAP, prepared him for entry to the prestigious high school Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School for Music and Art and the Performing Arts, where he was a flute instrumental music major. He continued to study with Jayn Rosenfeld during his freshmen year, while he played as principal flute player in the Bronx Burowide Band/Orchestra. He also was the Piccolo Soloist for Sousa's March "Stars and Stripes Forever". For the remainder of high school, he studied in the Honors Program at the Mannes College of Music Prepartory Division with Sue Ann Kahn.

Daryl is currently taking one year off to prepare for graduate programs in flute performance.

Multi Instrumentalist and composer Matt G, a native New Yorker, has been on the NYC jazz scene since 1997.  After taking an interest in music at an early age, his path eventually led him to jazz and improvization.  He cultivated the necessary tools to become a professional musician at The Purchase Conservatory of Music and has since shared the stage with jazz luminaries such as Adam Nussbaum, Andy Laverne, Todd Coolman, Ray Vega, Jon Cowherd, and the last Dennis Irwin.  Matt's debut album "Familiar Places" garnered critical acclaim and peaked at #13 on the CMJ Jazz Radio Chart.  "Blood Songs", Garrison's sophomore record, was released in May of 2012 and has already received glowing reviews.

I am a very energetic and enthusiastic musician and teacher, and strive to find a personalized way to find that energy within each student. I was self-taught until my twenties, which has given me a very unique perspective on the learning process. I attended SUNY Purchase College for my Bachelor's in Flute Performance, studying under Tara Helen O'Connor and performing Chamber, Orchestral, and New Music. I began my Masters studies (again in performance) at NYU under Kathleen Nester, and transfered to Rutgers University to study with Bart Feller. In addition to school ensembles, I have played with the Ridgefield Youth Symphony, New York Youth Symphony Chamber Music Program, and most recently with the Manhattan Symphonie on a tour to China.
