Having obtained a First-Class degree in BA Popular Music Performance, Daniel Hillary has dedicated the last three years honing his skills in music and guitar, developing a deep understanding of music theory and acquiring extensive performance experience.
Dan began his guitar journey at 12, developing a passion through 1-1 lessons. Over the years, Dan’s passion for the instrument has only grown and he is eager to share the knowledge he has acquired with other musicians who are on the same journey he has taken.
Dan teaches students from beginners to grade 6, designing lessons to be both engaging and tailored to each individual. Combining guitar techniques with genre-specific theory, Dan enables students to build a strong musical foundation. He aims to create lessons that are fun, dynamic, and aligned with the student's musical interests and goals, ensuring that the material resonates with their passions.
