Learn How to Play as Yourself
Just as we speak words and give them meaning, each and every one of us has the potential to be a conduit for musical magic. Whether you are a young or adult beginner, an advanced student seeking ways to improve your playing, whether you are a budding professional seeking to enter the world’s leading conservatoires, it is that musical magic that will get you where you wish and fill your playing with confidence. Daniel’s teaching philosophy is based in finding a natural technique that is tailored to each student’s physique and mentality. During the process students find they slowly let go of habits that have been getting in the way of their musical expression. Beginners find themselves able to sing with the instrument in the very early stages. The resulting compelling and solid playing of Daniel’s students have been the key to their success and could be a part of yours.

Advanced players and professionals
As advanced players we all know the struggle. We want to be artists and we want make music. But when putting the instrument in our hands we struggle.
