About
My passion is to foster talent across all age groups, and I have acquired a Bachelor's and Master's degree from The Juilliard School, New York City. As a former Professor of Piano at Juilliard, as well as The University of Southern California, I have served multiple seasons as a faculty member of the latter. In addition, I have presented numerous Master Classes in various global universities as I traveled internationally for performances.

In parallel, I teach piano privately within the Los Angeles area and also offer Master Classes, aiming to enhance my students' piano performance. My extensive experience in the field of teaching and performing enables me to facilitate my students' progress in their piano technique. I aim to impart fundamental skills, encourage practice and repetition, and offer advanced tips to help my students prepare for competitions, performances, and beyond.

I am presently accepting new students for private piano lessons, both in-person, as well as remotely through video conferencing.

Daniel is an outstanding individual, excelling as a teacher, pianist, mentor, and role model. Though I have had several teachers since starting piano at six years old, none have impacted my improvement as much as Daniel. Under his tutelage, my sight-reading and repertoire skills grew substantially. Even now, I still rely on the techniques he taught me while practicing remotely in college. I am eternally thankful for the expertise, enthusiasm, and skill that Daniel imparted to me. For anyone looking to enhance their piano playing abilities, I wholeheartedly endorse Daniel as a teacher with a rating of 11/10.

Subject: Recommendation for Dr. Daniel Lessner, Music Teacher, Composer, and Instructor To Whom It May Concern, I am pleased to offer a letter of recommendation for Dr. Daniel Lessner as a piano instructor/consultant in the music industry, whether in a personal teaching environment or advanced academic training. Dr. Lessner has been instructing our children for almost three years now. He has been able to develop all his students' potentials and has contributed to their successful careers. As a concert pianist, he is one of the few music teachers who shares his love of music with others. He has worked with independent music producers and major motion picture soundtracks, bringing to his students the necessary knowledge about Classical, Contemporary, and Jazz curricula for the real world of music. Furthermore, Dr. Lessner is a certified CM Instructor dedicated to the advancement of academic endeavors for the young. Dr. Lessner is organized and diligent, always having his lessons in order, which has earned him the respect of his students with his integrity and commitment. Therefore, I would recommend Dr. Daniel Lessner as a Professional Master in any capacity related to music training, development, and creation. Sincerely, Douglas and Erika Young, Proud Parents of Vincent and Benjamin. P.S. If you need any further information, feel free to contact us at (805)428-2723.

Collaborating with Daniel Lessner was immensely beneficial to my piano playing. Following each lesson, I had made notable improvements and obtained invaluable insights. Lessons were filled with extensive guidance and techniques that allowed me to perceive the music distinctly, resulting in my ability to perform confidently in front of an audience. Learning from and playing with Daniel Lessner fueled my energy and self-confidence, propelling me to deliver my best performances and connect with the audience on a musical level. Without Mr. Lessner's guidance, I would not have achieved the incredible feat of performing two Rachmaninov concertos with an orchestra. Ultimately, Mr. Lessner has made a significant contribution to my musical career.

Daniel has played a vital role in my musical journey and I cannot express enough gratitude for the time we've shared together. In short, no teacher in ANY subject comes close to his exceptional level of attentiveness, assertiveness, extensive knowledge, and genuine care for his students - not just in their practice, but also as individuals. Even after years of independent learning and higher education, I still consider Daniel a friend and colleague, knowing he will always provide valuable advice when needed. And if you listen to him play Rachmaninoff, you'll see for yourself just how incredible he truly is.
