I'm Dan! I'm a professional orchestral clarinetist with a passion for teaching clarinet and saxophone. I love working with beginners, intermediate, and advanced students alike. I have helped middle school, high school, and undergraduate clarinet and saxophone students prepare for auditions and playing in school ensembles. I have also worked with adult students learning music for the first time, and others who returned to playing after many years. I want to be your guide as you explore the cla...

Dan is a great tutor for my son! He is positive and friendly and helped my son prepare for Solo Ensemble for his first A class, clarinet solo. He was able to earn a 1st. The virtual format fits in our busy lifestyle. We thank Dan for his sharing his knowledge and for his dedication!

Dan was very knowledgeable and had helpful advice for improving my saxophone playing. I would recommend him to others looking for a saxophone teacher.

Dan, is very patient and a great source of information. I love that he can hear the sound that I am making and offer suggestions to improve on the clarity of the sound.

Really appreciate how, no matter how often I miss notes or struggle with rhythms, Dan?s patience and support is there. He is encouraging and inspires me to grow.

As someone who has been been learning and performing music for more than fifty years (!) In have strong opinions about music teachers??. What I can say, with emphasis, is that Dan is amazing. He minimizes playing his instrument out of concern that students will strive to imitate him. Instead, he supports his students in experimentation, asks questions and engages us in the creative process. Bravo! Dan teaches way more than how to read notes. He teaches us to be musicians. ??

One thing I really appreciate about Fan is his musicianship. He?s not only a great instructor of technique, but someone who keeps artistry and expression at the forefront. Anyone can learn to play notes, but becoming a musician is so much more. Dan is a master at both!

Dan has tutored my two kids (10, 12) for several months. He is a very good teacher: professional, punctual, knowledgeable and patient. His teaching skills is pretty good and my kids like him.

My 7 year old learns to play saxophone with Dan. He has been amazing at engaging her teaching her both theory and practice. It is not always easy to relate to young kids world and keep them interested and excited, yet, Dan does great job at that Highly recommended!

He is very patient with me. I enjoyed every lesson. Being I am a working adult, I appreciate him working with my schedule.

My 16 year old daughter really enjoyed her tutoring session with Dan. Our session was virtual, and it did not present any boundaries to learning. He asked her lots of questions to get her engaged and had her do lots of exercises on the Clarinet. She loved her lesson so much, she was practicing even after the lesson was over. He provides materials for practice and lessons.

Dan spent time getting to know me, my history, and my goals, We reviewed the basics and made a great start. I can tell that Dan has a love of music, so couple that with his teaching experience and I look forward to working with him in the future.

My son has been taking his lessons for several weeks. I do know clarinet, but I feel that the lessons are organized and my son is learning something each time.
- Qing T. from Arlington, VA
Dan was very patient with my son who is a first time clarinet player in his school band. Dan helped him with his blowing technique as well as playing the notes correctly. My son was very appreciative of Dan?s efforts across 3 lessons. I would highly recommend Dan.
