Daniel grew up in upstate New York and holds a degree in Piano Performance from Syracuse University where he graduated magna cum laude and was awarded the George Mulfinger Prize for Piano and the Evalina Vernon Honsinger Award for Music History. Later, as a teaching assistant, he completed graduate studies in Piano Performance at the University of Massachusetts. He is a member of the Oregon Music Teachers Association (OMTA), Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) and Pi Kappa Lambda, an honor society for musicians in higher education.

Before relocating to Oregon, Daniel worked internationally where he taught piano and courses in music theory and history at both the college and secondary school levels and was a sought after performer and music clinician. Daniel currently maintains an active piano studio in Beaverton where he continues his over 20 years of teaching and also enjoys performing in the greater Portland area. Though his piano studio has literally been around the world, music’s central message remains unchanged regardless of location: Music has the remarkable ability to both guide one on a path of self-discovery as it builds strong personal values and develops an individual’s sense of self while it also reveals the constancy of humankind’s greatest aspirations and concerns through changing times.
