About Daniel
I am a Professional Violinist and a candidate for a PhD in Music at the University of Cambridge. I aspire to work in music academia as a professional Musicologist and Cultural Historian. I recently completed an MPhil in Music at the University of Cambridge, specialising in the cultural history and musical aesthetics of Germany and France in the Long Nineteenth Century. As a result, my academic expertise is strongest in the related fields of the history of philosophy, the philosophy of music, and nineteenth-century music history. I am comfortable teaching music and musical aesthetics to an undergraduate level, but I also teach History and English Literature to secondary school students and A-level students. I also have intermediate reading skills in French. To support myself through a PhD in Music at the University of Cambridge, I have decided to expand my professional tutoring services. In addition to my responsibilities as a supervisor and teacher of undergraduate students in the Faculty of Music at the University of Cambridge, I will be offering private lessons in Philosophy, History, Music, English Literature, and Violin Performance. Music education is my passion; it is precisely because I want a career that combines academic research and teaching that I am pursuing a career as an academic musicologist. As a private tutor, I especially enjoy teaching students who, like me, attended a comprehensive school, and aspire to pursue higher education in music and the wider humanities. My goal as an educator is to help my students to achieve the best results, of course. Equally, I also strive to ensure that I impart a passion for ideas, and a commitment to academic excellence, that will sustain my students in developing curiosity and critical thinking skills.

Approach to Teaching – I favour a structured approach. I devise lesson plans in advance of every lesson, catered to the student's specific needs. – Violin lessons tend to be carefully planned to focus on specific technical aspects of performance. To train musicality, I often teach this through the use of Kreutzer and Fiorillo études, Dont studies, and also pieces of repertoire catered to the student's musical interests and technical requirements. – I am open to considering student repertoire suggestions if they are particularly passionate about a certain piece. Lesson Structure – Typically violin lessons range in length from 30 minutes to an hour, but I am flexible: I am more than happy to devise a lesson structure that caters for a student's requirements. Credentials – I am a Musicology PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge. – I have worked as a private violin teacher for 7 years (since I was 17). I have taught a variety of students, from beginners starting their instrumental training, to more advanced performers looking to improve their technical facility and performance skills. – I have performed at West Road Concert Hall (University of Cambridge), The Lee Tseng Hall (Wolfson College Cambridge), Buxton International Festival, Manchester International Festival, and The Bridgewater Hall. – I have an extensive portfolio of performing credits on documentary films; recent highlights include the docuseries on Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein 'House of Maxwell' (BBC2, 2022), and 'Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In' (Netflix) (Passion Pictures / Universal Pictures) (2021). Performance Credits: Soundtrack: House of Maxwell (BBC2) (2022) *Score nominated for BAFTA award Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In (Netflix) (Passion Pictures / Universal Pictures) (2021) The Schnoz (Premiered at the Jewish Film Festival 2020) The Chillenden Murders (BBC2) (2017) The Five Wives & Lives Of Melvyn Pfferberg (2016) Conviction: Murder At the Station (BBC2) (2016) Charlie Hebdo: 3 Days That Shook Paris (Channel 4) (2015) Being AP (BBC + Toronto Film Festival) (2015) The Battle for Marjah (HBO) (2012) *Score nominated for Emmy award Popular Music Releases: Grasscut – Human Estuary / The Garden / Witley Common (2021) (Lo Recordings) Grasscut – Coprolite Tip / Courage Traveller / Edges Of Night (2021) (Lo Recordings) Grasscut – September's Night Sky (2015) (Lo Recordings) Grasscut – Beacon (2014) (Lo Recordings) Grasscut – Pieces (2012) (Ninja Tune) Essa Weira – Glimpse (2020) Jaga Jazzist – Toccata (Grasscut remix) (2010) (Ninja Tune xx Vol. 2) (Ninja Tune) – I hold an MPhil(Cantab) in Music from the University of Cambridge, where I specialised in Historical Musicology and Aesthetics. – I led the University of Cambridge Experimental Music Ensemble (CUEME) during my MPhil year – I have a first-class music degree (74.4%) from the University of Manchester, where I won three Hargreaves Prizes for Academic Achievement. – I achieved a distinction (92%) in my ATCL Diploma in violin performance, and a First (78%) in my final violin recital for my undergraduate degree. – I have worked as an Assistant Music Teacher, which involved teaching to A-Level Music students. Ability of Students – Violin: Beginner to first-level Diploma (ATCL or DipABRSM)
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Daniel is a highly qualified instrumentalist, learned musicologist and all round excellent person. I highly recommend him as a violin teacher!
Put simply: Daniel is the only reason I have a Grade 5 theory certificate.
Daniel’s pedagogical approach is uniquely comprehensive. He’s not solely trying to get you through an exam. Rather, Daniel gives you a toolkit to evolve and grow independently.
The principles I’ve learned from my time with Dan continue to yield results in not just my music exams but also my academic pursuits.
I’ve since recommended him to several family members as well as professional colleagues.
A thousand thanks to you!
