Daniel B

Please note - Daniel works with up to advanced level guitarists, intermediate bassists, and beginner pianists.

This allowed Daniel to focus on learning by ear, improvising, and trying out many instruments. A graduate of UW, Daniel has found community in the Seattle DIY music scene, and their music as Kennero can be found on Bandcamp (composed, performed, and recorded by Daniel). Daniel's experience includes studio work at The Vera Project and all-ages concert production at Ground Zero / Boys & Girls Club. They believe that everyone deserves to feel supported and welcomed in the arts, and are excited to be able to pay forward their experience through teaching. When not working on their own music, Daniel enjoys playing in bands, long walks, poetry, and time with their cats. Daniel teaches guitar, bass, and piano at Meter.
