Daniel Lee
Hi, my name is Daniel Lee and I hold A Bachelor of Music degree from The Curtis Institute of Music. Starting my musical study at the age of 3 on the Piano; I began rigorous daily practice almost immediately, this focused and consistent work has allowed me to explore countless composers and genres. Learning to read, understand and perform any kind of music has been a tradition in my family that I am proud to hand down to my students. I am proud to continue providing consistent, structured and engaging private music lessons that are tailored to meet the goals of each family in the studio.

My complete focus is the smooth operation of the 4 studios that run alongside one another in Vienna. My associate Sable Valero, teaches younger and new students as well as providing practice coaching to students who might benefit from the added structure. My students enjoy playing pieces from all genres and are encouraged to explore genres of their own choosing in addition to the traditional periods of Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Contemporary.
Piano has been a constant in my life, while Trumpet has been something that has provided me with the most exciting performance opportunities and furthered my Education. After 39 years of practicing I still enjoy playing both instruments, and look forward to helping you find your own path.
