Dan is a freelance trumpeter, educator, instrumental coach, and arranger residing in the northern Metro Detroit area. His primary focus is brass instruction and instrumental coaching. He is currently teaching high brass at Expressions Music Academy in Novi, MI; and all brass students at Expressions Music Academy in both Rochester Hills and West Bloomfield, MI. During his time as a Graduate Assistant to Dr. Brittany Hendricks at Ball State, he gave private instruction to undergraduate trumpet students, directed the Ball State University Trumpet Ensemble and coached several small brass chamber ensembles. In addition to his teaching duties, he occasionally presented studio lectures and logistically coordinated large studio events such as the annual Ball State University Trumpet Day.
In addition to teaching and performing, he enjoys arranging and transcribing works for brass band and brass quintet. Although Dan's primary arranging concentration has been mainly for brass instruments, he has experience writing for all primary wind band instruments.
