I found Dan through Thumbtack several months ago. I grew up playing the trumpet (elementary school thru high school) and taught myself how to play the piano in middle school. The piano never stuck with all of my other commitments at the time and I let it go after about a year. I'm now 31 years old and back at it.
With that said, I came to Dan able to read music and with some basic music theory. Dan started by asking what my goals were and his philosophy on teaching. We matched perfectly - I wanted to play cocktail music/jazz standards and entertain friends/family at Christmas (no classical concert pianist here) and Dan is an accomplished jazz player with a knack for taking the skeleton of a song and making it his own. Dan started me on my scales/chords and I quickly learned how important they were to the foundation of songs and being able to improvise.
Dan is always on time, always prepared and always ensures that you know what you need to work on for your next lesson. Dan is an excellent teacher who is extremely knowledgeable. Also important to note, his "studio" (house) is always clean and you will always feel comfortable. I'm now beginning to play off of lead sheets and making great progress in improvising on songs. I highly recommend Dan for pianolessons - he will take your playing to another level!
