Lessons

Dan teaches beginner and intermediate guitar and songwriting for children and adults.  He has been teaching for over 15 years. Dan's approach to teaching is to instill in students the joy of creating music. Dan is mostly self-taught on both the guitar and piano and emphasizes learning by ear while also incorporating tried and true practice techniques. More than anything, Dan wants his students to learn to play with confidence, write their own songs and sing those songs while accompanying themselves on guitar. Dan teaches to each student as an individual, getting to know their interests, goals and abilities and tailoring lessons that allow each student to reach their potential and to love playing and singing.  

Dan teaches at students' homes or from his home in Brooklyn. For pricing and additional information, email Dan at danstraussmusic@gmail.com
