Testimonials

I have had the pleasure of having Daniel as one of my students in my Technical Studies and Advanced Technical Studies classes between September 2019 and June 2020. Daniel is a strong student with an excellent work ethic. He is a good listener and always eager to seek out and take on board any feedback, positive or negative, and look to develop himself within his studies.

Daniel’s attention to detail within his performance preparation was evident in his assessments for both of the above modules, achieving well deserved Distinction grades. Daniel’s tone production and use of phrasing has also progressed well, most likely due to his strong practice ethic and picking hand technique.

Daniel is a fantastic bass player and has been a pleasure to work with at the ACM. Daniel has a professional attitude, fantastic work ethic all of which is supported by strong technique, stylistic knowledge & natural creativity. Daniel is certainly a bass player to look out for in the future.

I have worked with Dan over the last two years as his performance tutor on the degree program at the ACM. I have always found him to be not only reliable and hard working, but conscientious and considerate to his peers. He always gives 100% in all of his studies, and shows a high level of musicianship. Dan has a really nice feel with his Bass playing, backed up with solid technique. He has a good ear and listens. He would be an asset to any musical project.
