Introduction
TEACHING: Masters in Jazz Performance, established New York musician, I am a Brazilian Jazz musician based in NYC that has more than a decade of experience in teaching and playing drums/piano in the most diverse styles, from Brazilian music to contemporary jazz. Each student is unique so course is personalized for the student needs. I teach mainly pop, rock, blues, jazz, classical, funk, RnB at an affordable cost, daily internet assistance and all ages and levels accepted. Come watch me play every thursday at Fourfivesix bar in Williamsburg. ---->>> Lesson - !!!ONLINE LESSONS AVAILABLE!!! My approach to teaching comes from what I call "Self-consciousness of progress". When the student himself realizes how better he is after a few lessons. To make that happen I support my lessons with a ton of great methods and materials acquired on more than a decade teaching around the world. Lessons are fun and relaxed. Each student has a different goal. Either if you just want to come and learn a few tunes or get really deep into studying the instrument I am here to help and adapt to your needs. The first class is directed to discuss what are your goals and make a good learning plan to accomplish them as fast as possible. Lessons are directed to archive the following basic goals: 1) - Just play your favorite songs /or 2) - Learn the instrument from the beginning /or 3) - (people with more experience) - Improve in the instrument targeting a more professional path. Notice*** - Piano - Beginner or Intermediate levels - Drums - All Levels ---->>>Location Classes can be held in locations: - ONLINE LESSONS AVAILABLE !!! - 149 W 46th St Floor 3, Michiko Studios, Manhattan, NY - 2910 30th Ave, Astoria, NY, Private Studio - Students home for your convenience (travel fee to be discussed). ---->>> Parents are allowed For children under 18 parents are more than welcome to stay for the classes, tell me if there is any specific goal you are looking for or talk about any subject that you might want. ---->>>AUDITION PREP I also help people to prepare for drum auditions. For this subject, I will tell you how to get ready for an audition. If you are trying to get in a college I have many contacts around the country and know how most auditions work and can help you with any question there might be. For auditions for band we can work on repertoire and behavior to get you ready and all set to get accepted. ENTERTAINMENT BAND: Services for weddings or other events.

Daniel and his band were PHENOMENAL and absolutely blew my expectations! We had our wedding in the Catskills at M&D Farm. They arrived on time, set up, and were very professional. During the wedding reception, they played Amazing jazz from John Coltrane to Bossa nova. And after dinner, they keep the dance floor ON FIRE playing Motown, funk and amazing Brazilian soul music. Everyone had a FANTASTIC time and really loved the songs. Robert and I could not have made a better decision when we decided to trust our wedding dance floor to Daniel’s band. I highly recommend them and would hire them for any other event. An UNFORGETTABLE night! Robert & Monique

Wow! Daniel is such a wonderful teacher. I was extremely impressed with his professionalism, his ability to communicate the instrument on multiple levels, and his overall awareness on what it really was at the core of what I needed to improve on within my skill set. I walked away from this lesson feeling like an entirely different musician, he expanded my perspective on music as a whole. I will say he is truly a talented teacher and musician. I feel like he translated the piano so clearly! No doubt, he would be a good teacher for any age. I really can not recommend Daniel enough for lessons. Truly great! Thank you for my lesson, and I will definitely be coming back.

Dane! Thank you man for your kind words, is incredible when we realize that music is music regardless the instrument you are using! The piano and drums are percussive but also melodic instruments at the same time and both complement each other wile making music. “Keep playing” Best, Daniel
