Dan recently served as music director for the Pioneer Valley Chordsmen, a barbershop chorus, and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish in Northampton, where he conducted three choirs and led an extensive cantor program.

For this series, Dan also served other groups as guest conductor and arranger.

Learning about Estill Voice Training in 2007 led Dan to “quit his day job” teaching music at Lander-Grinspoon Academy, take his private studio full-time, and proficiently sing and teach a number of different styles.
