His classical training on the cello provides him with a deep understanding of technique that he has extended to the guitar and violin, amongst other strings.His abilities as a cellist and violinist inform his educational method and give him a unique advantage that many other teachers lack. In 2020 he founded Stringlingo, a multi-media educational platform that teaches improv styles to violinists and cellists.Daniel has helped to pioneer extended techniques (groove playing) on the cello, and is a seasoned improviser in a number of styles. Classically trained at Interlochen Arts Academy and The Longy School of Music, he also attended the Berklee School of music where exposure to Bluegrass, Klezmer, and Jazz fanned his passion for roots music. Since graduating from Longy his principal focus has been the study and performance of folk music traditions on the violin, mandolin, guitar, and cello. His abilities as a multi-instrumentalist have created fertile ground for developing harmonic approaches to the cello that are shared by only a handful of people in the world.
