About Daniel McFarlane - Music Teacher

I’ve taught students piano, theory, and composition since 1997. The over-riding goal of my tuition is to create a meaningful and rewarding connection between a student and the music that they play. Great emphasis is placed on providing skills that will stay with the student and benefit them long after formal lessons have ended. Whilst exams and other formal means of grading students are important, I recognise that not all students respond to a purely traditional approach and lessons are tailored to individual tastes and goals.

Whilst exams and other formal means of grading students are important, I recognise that not all students respond to a purely traditional approach and lessons are tailored to individual tastes and goals. I personally enjoy composing, performing and teaching a wide range of musical styles and genres and I feel equally at home in the “classical” and “contemporary” music worlds. Many of my students have gone on to pursue careers in music in teaching, composing and performing but, more importantly, I am still in touch with many former students and they still love playing the piano!.
