Piano Man Dan
Overview
My degree is in Jazz Piano from one of the top jazz schools, the University of Miami (undergrad) and the University of North Texas (masters degree). I'm also born and raised in NY, studying classical music at the Manhattan School of Music. I can play anything from Jazz to Latin Jazz, Classical Music, Billy Joel, Ed Sheeran, todays popular songs and much more! People love my playing because of my impeccable technique and ability to play many different genres. I also bring the fun personality needed for major events like yours. My price should be very competitive and I won't even need breaks. Take a look at my pictures/videos so you get a feel for my playing and personality.

March 29, 2026Fantastic!!
I highly recommend piano man Dan! He was so professional right from the first correspondence, and boy can he play the piano! We had a very big birthday party for my mom as she turned 100 years old, with about 55 people attending. My mom was a music teacher and private piano teacher so we had to have a really good pianist at the party or it just wouldn’t be right! Dan was so charming and personable, I just can’t say enough good things.

Vanessa,
Thank you for this great review! It was a pleasure playing for your mom and what a milestone she has made! I also want to say that it was a treat playing for your group because with yout mom being a professional musician, it gave me the opportunity to play it all including classical, jazz, broadway show tunes, pop, rock, and even some latin jazz. I appreciate you hiring me and it makes me feel great inside knowing that I was able to enhance the experience of your guests with such an important celebration for your family.
Warm Regards,
Dan

February 18, 2026Fantastic Evening
Piano Man Dan is a great pianist, lovely person, and brings joy to any space. To start he set up a time for us to talk a few days before the event, just after I booked him. He wanted to review music, mood in order to get the best results. He shaped a stunning playlist with me tailored to my Valentine/ Birthday party. He connected with the guests and provided them with lyrics if they wanted to sing-a-long. We have a baby grand piano in our loft- and he made it come to life!!! THANK YOU DAN... Yvonne

Dan led a Christmas Sing Along in our home with a mix of teenagers, octogenarians and everything in between. He took requests, he mixed in classics with trends. He was exceptionally professional and easy to deal with. Pleasure to recommend Dan to this community. You will be thrilled with what his talents add to your gathering. Thank you, Dan.

Hi Kristin,
Thank you for this fantastic review! What a way to start the Christmas week off. I had so much fun playing for your family and friends and the sing along brought the entire group of 30 plus people together! It was so much fun to watch. Hoping we can do it again next year. Wishing your family and friends a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Warm Regards,
Dan
