"While going to dinner on the Plaza, we ran across Dane playing live. We were looking into live ceremony music at the time and instantly knew we had to reach out to see if he could be a part of our day. Dane was the perfect fit for our venue and vibe of the wedding and we are so grateful for this coincidence. Dane was very open to learning songs outside of his repertoire that meant a lot to us for our ceremony, and was very detail oriented in planning the timing just perfectly down the aisle and back. We also booked Dane to perform alongside our DJ throughout the night which just elevated the fun of the reception to a whole new level. He was a fan favorite from all our guests and the whole day wouldn’t have been the same without his talents!"

"Dane is a fantastic music teacher and performer, especially if you want to be able to improv and have a functional understanding of music theory concepts and how to apply them.__As someone with twenty years experience with music, I am no stranger to learning pieces and performing them, but felt I was lacking a deeper understanding. I worked with Dane, playing piano, trumpet, and guitar and made vast improvements that I was able to apply across all instruments. At times we would even focus on the business side of music, which is an area I feel most people tend to neglect.__Overall, I would highly recommend studying with Dane, whether you are a complete beginner, looking to perfect a performance piece for competition, or push yourself in new directions."

"Dane is a phenomenal & talented performer! We hired him for a backyard dinner party and he exceeded our expectations. He helped complete the exact ambiance we were hoping for. He was able to pick up on the vibe and adapt to it. He made sure the volume was what we wanted and was considerate that the music he played was what the guest of honor wanted. He did a variation of singing and playing his saxophone and it was so beautiful. The guests were blown away and we can’t wait to have another event so we can hire him again!"

"Dane is the real deal for music instruction! He senses the many nuances of saxophone performance quickly and clearly, and can then formulate thorough, useful feedback in the moment. If you wanna learn sax, this is your guy!"

"We booked Dane for my father’s 60th birthday and the whole experience from start to finish was top-notch! He was early, sounded incredible, super sweet and professional. The family loved him. Thanks again Dane!"

"Dane has been very focused on progress with my son's Bari-Sax lessons. In a short period of time, my son's skills have improved considerably. If you or somebody you know is not only looking to learn to play the saxophone, but also to better understand music, Dane is your guy."
