I love Danny's style of teaching. He empowers my daughter to feel comfortable with herself. his style of teaching is really relaxed and always fun. My daughter loves taking classes with Danny since she learns so much and at the same time has lots of fun.
-Natalie, mother of Bianca I have taken music lessons from Daniel many times over the last year. I play the flute, Daniel doesn't (I should say "didn't", because he has recently taken it on, and now he does play the flute); but that didn't matter. Daniel very quickly was able to focus in on exactly what I needed to learn and then to provide gentle challenges that allowed me to advance my skills without angst.
Daniel's real skills as a teacher are not so much his own musical prowess, which is extensive, but more his ability to listen carefully and hone in on what the student really wants to do...sometimes when the student himself, or herself doesn't have complete clarity on what that is. And, Daniel makes it all fun. There isn't a minute when his love of music doesn't come through in his teaching. We seem to laugh a lot during his lessons. I should add that I am in my seventies and I know that Daniel is comfortable teaching very young children, and every age in between. He is a rare jewel in our local music community and we are blessed to have the opportunity to connect with him...to be taught by him. John - flautist, music lover |
Danny is a great teacher. we sing all kinds of stuff! It is fun doing rounds with him and i like him a lot for a teacher! Whenever you want to play say, ukelele, he lets you play ukelele and whenever you want to play piano he lets you play piano. I feel like Danny is always nice when I take classes with him.
-Bianca Bracuto 8 years old. Dan is an exceptional teacher. He goes right to the heart of music and finds a myriad of ways to bring it out of his students. He goes deeper than just theory and technique to the true heart of what music can do for the human soul. Every person young or old could benefit from taking lessons from this music man!

During a handful of lessons, Dan took me on a powerful journey igniting a life long love of guitar, music and singing that will forever enhance my time here.
