Dan Bonsignore (he/him)

Dan is a multi-instrumentalist from New York City. He relocated to the Seattle area back in 2016 to raise his 2 children in his wife’s hometown. Dan started playing guitar when he was 12 years old, eager to start a punk band with friends. While his earlier years as a musician involved mostly stringed instruments (Guitar, Bass, Ukelele), Dan has spent the last 14 years focusing solely on drums. He has played in bands consistently in the NYC local/DIY scene, hosted Open Mics, and has toured around the Northeast as well. Currently Dan is drumming in the Seattle-based 2-piece “Garage Folk” band BIRD BONES. 

Having spent the last 20+ years working in the culinary field, Dan has now shifted his focus/career and is devoting his time to music education and live performance. 

Dan’s goal as a teacher is to inspire and cultivate a passion for music with his students. He firmly believes that learning music should be a fun, engaging, and encouraging experience. As a parent he understands the needs of young learners and the importance of creating a safe and supportive learning environment.
