About Dan

Experience and patience.

Everyone thinks you have to have an aptitude to learn to play an instrument. It helps but it's not necessary.

Why can't it be invigorating, fun, exciting, as well as work? after years of teaching and performing I've learned to present, explain and demonstrate any given technic so that we continue to move forward. It's more of a journey, not just a destination.

My favorite part of teaching is getting to know your musical likes and dislikes while providing you a firm musical foundation to assist you on your journey.

After graduating I started working in a full-service music store. I had already been playing professionally for three years in local bars, conventions, and accompanist. The owner of the store asked me to start teaching after work. Later I was asked to teach classroom music, band, and choir K-8 at a private parochial elementary school.

Over the years teaching has become my favorite way of making a living. 



Over the past forty-three years, I have taught piano, organ, guitar, and various other instruments to students ranging in age from four-year-old’s to eight-nine years old. I have taught classroom music, band & choir, as well as voice and most of your band instruments.

Five days out of seven I teach private lessons, most of them are taught in the students home, I have students in Wilsonville, Tigard, Beaverton, Clackamas, and Vancouver Washington. On Saturday I direct Portland Kids International Children’s Choir, and on Sunday I am the music director/worship leader for Memorial Lutheran Church in Vancouver, Washington .

With any student whether new to music or a seasoned musician, I feel it's important to make sure they have a working knowledge of music fundamentals. 

I take time to make sure the student understands and has a working ability to explain and converse freely using the terms given. 

After that, we move forward shaping their education in such a way that the foundation they receive will support their musical tastes and desires., with or without a teacher to direct them.  



I've taught children as young as 5 years old and adults as old as 83, The love for music has no age limits. My student's abilities range from beginners to advanced.



Look for a teacher that strives to give you a love for music, as well as a musical foundation that will serve you at whatever instrument you choose to express yourself.

 

 



I was able to direct and teach the youth praise team of the Smirna Christian Church in Vancouver, Wa., after teaching them voice lessons for six months I/We presented a worship concert for the churches in the area. 



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Are you willing to set aside time each day to practice?

As a teacher I expect my students to practice 5 out of 7 days., and to work at focusing on it for at least 30 minutes each day.  

Are you willing to work with and sit alongside the students as they begin their journey? 

If you're the parent of the student and he or she is a beginner, are you willing to take an active lead in helping them strive to learn and understand each lesson.

Are you willing to wait for results?  

As parents, we sometimes think that results mean our children should take to lessons like fish to water, that their ability to play songs should happen in a short time. I've found that most students take to lessons differently, some have no problems while others wrestle with doing it daily. 

My philosophy is a child I was expected to learn reading, writing, and arithmetic. I wasn't asked whether or not I wanted to learn it, it was something we did.

A musical education transcends playing a song on any giving instrument. The time you invest here will offer years of benefits both musically and otherwise.

To further these thoughts I include this article. (concealed information) 

As adults, we think we should be able to pick things up easily, but it's not that way we need to be patient with ourselves. Rome wasn't built in a day and didn't burn to the ground in one either.
