"Daniel Johnson is a consummate musicianship instructor! He is a very experienced teacher and tutor and has a great musical ear. He also has a deep understanding of the workings of music theory. Most importantly, he can make that knowledge relevant to each student's musical growth. He is a most effective teacher in helping his students develop their inner ear and their innate musicality." |
