    Daniel is a great teacher, so patient and kind; he intuitively knows how to bring out the best in his pupils. What a guy!

    I've watched a number of your videos after seeing Lucy on C4. What really strikes me is the teachers, and how they use different methods to help develop and bring out the best in their students. Brilliant!

    Dear Daniel, I now have so enjoyed watching you teaching Anaya, such a different personality than Lucy. So many teachers could learn from you no matter which children they are teaching, with or without special needs. Your musical ability, as well as your ability to relate to the children you are working with is just beyond I have ever seen. I have been searching the internet to find your email address but was not sure if I found the right one. I have just finished watching 'The incredible Lucy' film, beautifully done as it has given a real over view. not just of Lucy's journey, but also of yours with her. As well as how the school provides such a beautiful supportive environment for children to develop in so many ways. When I came to the end of the film and witnessed how you were treated, hindered from being at Lucy's side at the last minute, to attend the coronation concert, by this cold and rigid bureaucratic system, I just could not stop crying. You so deserved to be next to her!!! And you so deserved an apology afterwards. The fact that Lucy was able to play without you is a tribute to how well and how wisely all of you are working together in your care and work with Lucy.I am just reading the comment below and so agree, you truly deserve some sort of official award as a recognition for your unique approach and dedication as a music teacher. . I truly hope many teachers will take note and learn from you how to teach children in such a way that this truly helps children to enhance who they are, rather than just getting the 'technique' and grades right. Go well and please take also good care of yourself!!

    What a fantastic teacher! Is Anaya left handed maybe? She has an amazing hear for music!

    I think it goes without saying that she’s left-handed if she played one-handed with that hand and also tends towards using that hand for more of the keyboard than is typical.

    When he says she plays what she is feeling I can relate to that in a way, I can’t listen to certain types of music depending on my mood, I need to find the music for my mood, takes me on great musical discoveries though..
