About
Hello! I’m Daniel — a certified, passionate teacher of saxophone, flute, clarinet & recorder with
over 20 years of experience.
I come from a family of classical musicians — my grandfather was a music doctor and conductor in germany, my father played in a symphony for 25 years, and my aunt led a music conservatory for 30 years.
I help students of all ages play the music they love while building confidence, creativity, and solid technique. My lessons are structured, motivating, and always adapted to your pace
Music is my lifelong passion and my greatest joy to share.
Teaching Style
I’ve helped many students — from complete beginners to advanced players — enjoy real progress and expression.
With more than 20 years of teaching experience and a Bachelor’s degree in Classical Performance, I guide students to develop strong technique, musicality, and personal sound.
I’ve also led saxophone trios and quartets, coached actors using saxophone on stage, and performed internationally
Curriculum
Lessons are personalized to your goals and musical taste, with clear guidance for technique, rhythm, and expression, and steady encouragement at every step. Whether you’re a beginner or returning to music, I’ll help you gain confidence, enjoy your progress, and discover your own unique sound.
Let’s start your musical journey together and make every note meaningful.

Bio
With over 20 years of teaching experience with students ages 5 to 81, I have taught saxophone, flute, and clarinet across a wide range of educational settings. My work includes: the Polyphony School of Education in Nazareth (EU-supported), teaching Arab children from Muslim and Christian communities; two Jewish-sector elementary schools in Kiryat Tiv'on where I instructed 4th–6th grade groups of up to seven students; the Zevulun Education Advancement Association in Kibbutz Yagur, teaching advanced-intermediate teenage saxophone students; an elementary school in Kiryat Ata, teaching 4th–5th graders in both group and private formats; and the conservatory in Kibbutz Yizre’el, providing individual and group instruction to students aged 9 to 15. In addition, I teach private students of all ages—children and adults—in their homes in Tel Aviv, as well as online via Zoom to students across Israel and around the world.
I have performed extensively in Israel and abroad with the Jerusalem Saxophone Quartet, the flagship ensemble of the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance under the direction of Prof. Gersh Geller, which was awarded the Academy’s Excellence Scholarship in Chamber Music. I premiered a world-debut solo work by composer Oded Zehavi for baritone saxophone and the Haifa Symphony Orchestra, and have performed widely on flute, clarinet, and saxophone in various productions with well-known artists in popular music, rock, jazz, and pop.
