My teaching practice centers around ease, balance, focus, joy, freedom, and a sense of play. Through the development of student agency, they find the freedom to have the conversations with our sonic environment, leading us to more comfortable, natural, and safe ways of being.
As a teacher with 20 years of experience, Dan has worked with hundreds of students in public schools, after school programs, and most recently as the 7 year orchestra director at Urban Prairie Waldorf School.
As a performer, Dan is classically trained and comfortable across a wide range of styles and techniques.
