About Dan
I have over 8 years of experience as a violin tutor and hold a Bachelor of Science in Orchestral Studies, where I served as a Violin Section Leader. I’m passionate about blending traditional violin skills with modern technology to help my students grow. I use tools like slow-down apps, DAWs, MIDI notation, and video feedback to help you analyze and refine your playing in detail. This approach is especially helpful for those interested in recording violin parts for original songs or covers. I love teaching genres like Jazz Violin, Rock Strings, and Indie Folk, bringing a fresh and creative vibe to lessons. Improvisation is one of my strengths, and I create custom backing tracks tailored to your style and goals. My teaching style is interactive and focused on helping you find your unique musical voice. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, I’m here to support your journey. Together, we’ll explore new sounds and techniques that make violin playing exciting and modern. I’m excited to help you unlock the full potential of your instrument. Let’s dive into the future of violin learning and start recording your own music. It’s a thrilling path, and I can’t wait to be part of your creative adventure.

My teaching approach focuses on developing strong sight-reading skills for violin, helping students quickly recognize notes, ledger lines, and complex rhythms. I use a systematic method that builds a solid connection between what you see on the page and what your fingers play. This visual-to-finger coordination is key for reading music fluently and confidently. I also work on reading multi-part scores, which is important for ensemble playing and musical theatre. My lessons are tailored to support students who perform regularly, including those involved in musical theatre and worship settings. I provide consistent practice exercises and strategies to improve speed and accuracy. With dedication and focused guidance, you'll be able to learn new pieces instantly. I believe that strong sight-reading opens many doors for musicians. You’ll gain independence and confidence in tackling unfamiliar music. I’m committed to helping you excel, whether you’re preparing for a show, a service, or just want to improve your reading skills. Together, we’ll make sight-reading an enjoyable and natural part of your violin playing.
