About Me

Hi, my name is Daniel and I am a musician from Cincinnati. I have been a student of music for 15 years. My musical influences include Beethoven, John Coltrane, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and much more! My teaching style can best be described as student centered. My teaching philosophy can best be described by saying that I want my students to get the most of what they enjoy out of music. In my lessons, you can expect to learn proper technique to continue playing, music theory, composition, and anything else you are interested in. I like to tell my students that they aren't allowed to say they can't do something. I believe each student can get to the level they want to and want to help guide my students to reaching their desired potential. My favorite thing about teaching is the look of joy when a student succeeds. My favorite performance was performing with the University of Louisville Orchestra along with members of the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic. I primarily teach woodwinds, but I can also teach piano, bass, guitar, composition, and music theory. My approach as a teacher is to find the best way to keep the student engaged while still helping them learn new skills. Thanks for taking a look at my profile. Hope to meet you soon!

What to expect in my Song Writing Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

These are the most student centered lessons so the main thing to expect out of lessons is to get what you would put it. I will be able to provide exercises to learn to write songs. There will be song analysis for more advanced students so they can use what others have done before them to influence their growth.

What to expect in my Keyboard and Piano Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

There will be focus on basic piano technique and basic music theory. Due to my background I can give beginning classical piano lessons but can give up to intermediate jazz, pop, and rock piano lessons.

What to expect in my Guitar Lessons

Beginner -

They will be learning the basics of guitar technique and performing. They will learn basic chords and notes on the guitar. The curriculum will have its mainstays of basic technique and theory but will incorporate whatever the student desires to learn from there.

What to expect in my Bass Guitar Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

The curriculum will have mainstays in theory and technique as to better the student as a musician in general while gaining the abilities to learn their desired material. The beginner lessons would focus more on learning simpler songs while the intermediate lessons will take more advanced measures in technique while expanding repertoire knowledge.
