Instruments: Piano Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For all students from beginners to adults I use Alfred's Piano books as they are very transparent and easy to follow. I also strongly believe that even beginner students as early as 4 can learn scales and chords even though many teachers don't introduce such things until they reach an older age and have more experience. It is very apparent to me that many teachers under estimate how truly brilliant children are and how they can soak up material much more quickly at a younger age. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello
Every student learns differently and is inspired differently. I believe it is important to have a solid knowledge of theory and note reading- If the student has this foundation then they are able to grow quite quickly as musicians. I think that consistency is the key to learning an instrument and trying to practice every day is ideal, but I have children of my own and I realize that this is not always possible. Read More

Instruments: Piano
It is of utmost importance that my students enjoy their lessons. I enable my students to express themselves and allow time to explore music together. I aim to tailor my lessons to the students’ individual needs and interests to help them to achieve their goals. I consider my student’s age, learning style, and special needs while teaching. I utilize visual, aural, and kinesthetic approaches to develop skills and reinforce concepts. Read More

Hi there! My name is Daniel and I have been playing the piano for over 12 years. I am also an experienced piano teacher, having taught for 5+ years. In addition to playing and teaching, I am also a composer, specializing in classical, pop, and jazz music. I have a strong foundation in music theory, choir, and music history, having completed a 7-year music school program. Throughout my musical journey, I have participated in numerous piano competitions, events, and concerts, which has given me valuable performance experience and a deep appreciation for the art of music.

Instruments: Piano Violin Music
I began teaching piano and violin lessons 15 years ago and have been consistently teaching ever since. Encouraging daily practice, and helping the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument is one of the key points. While enjoyment is the number one rule, following their development and progress with certain method books are really important. I encourage my students to compose their own original material as well as participate in certification exams and recitals. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I love the guitar. I love plugging an electric guitar in to an amp with distortion and let it rip. It's creative, scientific, full of emotion, full of discipline, full of fun, and something that I can connect with others by doing. It's quite possibly my favorite thing in the world.
I love the drums for the same reason. It's great to pound on them for stress release, the fills are and endless supply of creative options, and also very mathematical at the same time.
I love the clarinet because it is beautiful. Both to look at and the sound. You can play soft, pretty pieces. You can also play loud, intense pieces.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I never thought I could write and record my own album. Now I have three and working on a fourth. Without going to school and taking lessons I would have never had the confidence to do it on my own. Now I'm completely confident, but still incredibly eager to continue to learn.
I love teaching music to all ages. It gives me so much pure joy to see the smiles on student's faces when they learn a song or a cool drum beat. It's truly my calling in to life to be a musicians and help others realized that they can be musicians too.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Not any specific rewards, but some great success stories. I had one student who was 14 years old and had been getting in to lots of trouble at school. All he seemed to be interested in, other than getting in to trouble, was music. Therefore his parents enrolled him at the music school I taught at. Luckily enough, he was paired with me to learn guitar. His face lit up with excitement when I told him we could learn songs from his favorite band, Blink-182. Over time his parents told me that his attitude started to improve and rather than getting in to trouble, he was staying at home to practice his guitar. It was the best news I've ever heard. Music truly can change a person.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Learning the song "Blackbird" by the Beatles was very challenging for me at the time. It uses a picking style that was completely new to me. I would practice phrases, get frustrated, but keep at it until I had it down.
Singing in front of an audience for the first time was very scary for me. I'm not the most accomplished singer, but I wanted to do it. Afterwords I thought to myself, "Hey that wasn't so bad". I then had the confidence to keep doing it, keep improving, and expanding what I can do musically.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like Hal Leonard for guitar, Fast Track for drums, and Standard of Excellence for clarinet. However, I'm open to using additional/different materials depending on the student. I use the website Ultimate Guitar for tablature of songs on guitar. Tablature is an alternate way of reading music. Some guitar teachers don't like it because it is not actually reading music, but rather a chart showing where to put your fingers to play. However, I feel it can be a very useful tool for growing as a guitarist.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I like to practice in short intervals multiple times a day. Practicing a concept multiple times a day without overwhelming yourself with too much other material will really help you learn the technique quickly. I like to warm up by doing finger exercises or arm and leg stretches, sit a quiet room with no distractions, and really buckle down with the music in front of me. It can be boring to repeat the same thing over and over, but the more you do it the better you will become and be able to advance.
