Re: Recommendation for Dr. Daniel Lessner, Music Teacher, Composer, Instructor

This is a letter of recommendation to who is interested in Dr. Lessner as a piano instructor/consultant in the music industry utilized in a personal teaching environment or advanced training of academic achievement.

Daniel Lessner has been the instructor for our children for almost 3 years now. He works under demanding schedules with other students and professional music industry personnel and is capable of developing the potentials of all his students while contributing to the success in their music careers. Daniel Lessner is one of the few teachers who is a concert pianist and devotes his time to others interested in the love of music. He works with independent music producers as well as major motion picture soundtrack requirements, bringing to his students the real world essentials whether be Classical, Contemporary or Jazz curriculum. Dr. Lessner is also a certified CM Instructor dedicated to the advancement of academic endeavors for the young.

Organized and diligent, Dr. Lessner always has his lessons in order and earned the respect of all students with his integrity and commitment. I would definitely recommend Dr. Daniel Lessner as a Professional Master in any capacity having to do with the training, development and creation of music.

Sincerely,

Douglas and Erika Young

Daniel Lessner is a brilliant pianist who plays with passion, intelligence, and intensity, and he brings the same brilliance and passion to his teaching. As a student who already had some background in piano before coming to Daniel, Daniel absolutely took my playing to the next level, both technically and musically speaking. My technique improved in difficult passages by Rachmaninov, Chopin, and other technically challenging composers after studying with Daniel. Musically, Daniel was also always able to articulate exactly what a piece was trying to evoke and knew how to bring this musicality out of me. His passion is contagious and his expertise is daunting, and even after one lesson, I often found that my playing had improved enormously. Over the years, he pushed my limits musically and my musicianship grew exponentially as a result. My lessons with him have stayed with me over the years and I absolutely would highly, highly recommend him to anyone who wants to study piano.

Daniel is an exceptional teacher, pianist, mentor, and role model. I've played piano since I was around 6 years old and had my fair share of teachers, but no teacher was able to help me improve as much as Daniel did. Throughout my years taking lessons with him, my sight-reading abilities and repertoire become vastly more advanced and I still am able to use the techniques he taught me as I practice remotely in college. I will be forever grateful for the knowledge, passion, and talent that Daniel graced me with. If you want to become a better pianist, I 11/10 recommend him as a teacher.

I have known Daniel for several years, and can strongly recommend him as both a teacher and a performer. His vast experience and talent set him apart, and any student would be lucky to have him as their teacher.

Daniel has been one of the most important parts of my musical journey. I just can't say enough good things about our time together. I'll keep it brief and simply say, no other teacher in ANY subject I've ever had comes even close. He's attentive, assertive, highly knowledgeable, incredibly helpful, and genuinely cares about his students, not just in terms of their practice but as individuals as well. Even today, after years of independent learning and university, I still look to Daniel as a friend and colleague who I know will always throw helpful advice my way.

P.S. Just listen to him play Rachmaninoff, he sells himself

I’ve grown up a musician since the age of 5 and I am now turning 21. I’ve gone through numerous teachers and programs. However none have, nor ever will, compare to the experience I have and continue to gain from Mr. Daniel Lessner. The depth of knowledge and passion he has for the musical arts is far beyond anything fathomable. He truly is a master of his craft. What I have accomplished with Mr. Lessner in a couple months, I couldn’t dream of doing with any other teacher in a couple years.

I liked working with Daniel Lessner because I knew that after every lesson, I would have improved greatly and gained valuable insight on my piano playing. Each lesson was packed with advice and methods to help me understand the music clearly, allowing me to perform confidently when the time came. Playing and learning from Daniel Lessner gave me the energy and confidence I needed to perform my best and reach out to the audience musically. Without him, I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish the feat of performing 2 Rachmaninov concertos with an orchestra. All in all, Mr. Lessner has contributed significantly to my musical career.
