Daniel Finch is a wonderful piano instructor. He has been teaching my son Josh for several years now during which he has patiently worked with him no matter the pace at which he progresses. Daniel works hard to teach music concepts in a personalized way, so that each student can understand. He also wants everyone to enjoy learning and playing the piano, so he helps them choose music that they know that is challenging while still being achievable. I have recommended he to many of my friends, and will continue to do so in the future.

Both of my girls have taken music lessons from Daniel, one on piano and one on guitar. They both have learned so much from him. He is always so patient with them but also challenging them at the same time. And he has been great with being flexible with our busy schedule. Highly recommend!

Daniel is a wonderful teacher for all ages of students, at any level of experience. He taught all 3 of my children piano and/or guitar as young beginners and took them through their teen years to become accomplished musicians. What’s great is that despite 3 very different personalities, Daniel was able to work with and teach them in the ways they individually needed. He is patient and kind, and our family is forever grateful to him.

I took classical piano lessons from Daniel for about ten years, and its not an exaggeration to say he taught me everything I know! I not only learned about the mechanics of playing the piano, but he also gave me a great foundation of music theory and some excellent life lessons about the rewards of consistency and discipline. He made sure that I was exposed to a wide variety of composers and styles of classical music and that I was always appropriately challenged, never bored. I didnt go on to be a concert pianist or professional musician, but I did develop a deep love of music that has translated into an easier time learning other instruments, forming very close friends based on playing in orchestras and bands together (including meeting my husband through our shared love of the piano), and the privilege to lead worship at the churches Ive attended since. Im so thankful for everything that Daniel taught me, and Id highly recommend his lessons for anyone looking for a strong foundation for a lifelong love of your instrument.

Daniel is very dedicated and has his students best interest at heart. He has a true gift for teaching music, and is very patient, especially with younger kids. Ive been working with Daniel since 2009. He has taught piano to 2 of my kids for 8 years and my youngest for 7 years. After spending money on lessons for 11 years, I can honestly say that it was money well spent, and an investment in my children that has already shown benefits in their lives. I consider myself fortunate and blessed that Daniel was a part of my childrens musical journey.
