Danuel Tate is a keyboard player and composer of electronic music. He has composed electronic music for the past 14 years, but it is his work with the group "Cobblestone Jazz" that has given him international acclaim. Over the past 5 years he has performed extensively from Moscow to South America, India to Japan and all over the globe. He has performed at the largest music festivals in the world including twice at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. In between touring he teaches piano to a range of students. He prefers to teach the fundamentals of music theory aurally at first, then reading and writing music later. As he was trained as a jazz pianist, improvising is a large component of his lesson set. Danuel first stresses proper tone, second rhythmic accuracy and third correct notes. He encourages parents of children under 8 years to participate in the lessons as he feels that parent involvement provides a better outcome in terms of promoting music in the child's future life.
