Daniel also teaches guitar
About Me:
I believe that lessons should be suited to each students' particular goals and needs. I hope to create an environment where students can pursue their own playing goals and the styles they are most interested in. My job as a teacher is to foster students' abilities and creativity and to introduce them to concepts, techniques, and music that will challenge and inspire them.

Student Reviews for Daniel
(5.0 out of 5 stars)
Foose is a great teacher - July 7, 2009
By A. L., Bass Lessons
Daniel is very patient and when I don't understand something he explains it to me in another way till I get it. His lessons are also fun since I get to learn the songs that I like. Overall great teacher so if you live near Sunnyside Queens and want a great bass teacher go with Daniel.
