Here are a few moments from performances, rehearsals, and projects along the way. Thank you to all of the musicians, guest artists, audiences, and supporters who have helped bring this vision to life. There is much more ahead.

Private Mentorship Inquiry

Chelsea McBride (Canada)

Dan was really great at demonstrating arranging techniques I hadn't encountered. He also opened my ears up to possibilities I hadn't considered, while still encouraging me to trust my instincts, the emotion of the piece, and the sentiment I wanted to get across. He's been a big influence on me finding my own voice as an arranger, and has been a supportive & enthusiastic mentor as well.
