Daniel H.

With more than 20 years of experience, Daniel H. has dedicated himself to violin, viola, and voice instruction and performance. Educated in music at IU/Bloomington, Sarah Lawrence College, CUNY/Queens College, and The School For Strings, Daniel takes a profoundly humanistic approach to music education, following his mentor, Dorothy DeLay. He strives to cultivate the student’s love of music and self-confidence, alongside technical proficiency. His teaching has ranged enormously and globally, from Suzuki violin instruction at St. Ignatius School in the Bronx to music instruction at the British International School, Kyiv. His performances range from premiering works by New York composers Leonard Lehrman and Kermit Moore, to singing regularly as a baritone with Cantus Novus, Monmouth Civic Chorus, and Sharim v’Sharot. In September 2025 he sang lieder by Schubert and Wolf in Giesenheim, Germany at a memorial for his childhood friend and longtime pianist Scott Faigen.

Daniel lives and teaches privately in Yardley PA, but is often found in NYC with students, colleagues, and close family. The proud father of three grown children, he is fond of puzzles, cooking, yoga, building PCs, and coaxing houseplants to choose life.
