"I have taken coaching with Dan for concert and audition preparation and always find his insights extremely helpful. His sensitivity to harmony offers an additional perspective to add to my repertoire, particularly in baroque music. This being said, Dan also offers valuable technical advice regarding breathing, phrasing and text. I would recommend Dan's coaching highly and look forward to my next session."
Ellie Kemp, professional singer
"I first met Dan working under his baton at St Mark's Hamilton Terrace while he was music director there. He made it a very important point to give the scholars there solo opportunities for which he gave us immensely valuable coaching for a range of pieces from Verdi's Requiem to Bach St John's Passion.
His experience showed massively with Dan managing to extract the maximum out of me in each of our coachings. His acute musicallity and eye for detail within the music is an influence from him that I still hold today. Another point that I want to stress was that he also allowed me a great deal of musical creativity and originality, helping me to develop my own musical voice. I can honestly say that I don't believe I would be the same musician that I am today without Daniel's supportive and experienced tutelage."
