Daniel’s love for the piano began at the age of 8, when he started taking private piano lessons. For the next seven years, he trained diligently in sight reading, mastering the art of interpreting music directly from sheet music. However, when the need arose for him to play at his home church during his teenage years, Daniel quickly found himself venturing into the world of playing by ear. It was here that he discovered a deeper connection to music, developing the skill to listen, interpret, and create music without relying on written notes.
As Daniel’s journey progressed, he honed his ability to play hymns and church music by ear, blending his classical training with intuitive musicality. Over the years, he has become a sought-after musician and instructor, passionate about teaching others how to unlock their potential by learning to play music by ear. His courses are designed to equip students with practical skills that go beyond the notes, focusing on the heart and feel of the music.
Now, with years of experience in both sight reading and ear playing, Daniel is committed to helping his students find freedom at the piano, guiding them in playing with confidence and creativity, especially in the context of hymn playing and rhythmically accompanying church music.
