Daniel takes pride in his work as an educator and teaching artist, bringing music education to students across New York City. He is a Teaching Facilitator with Musical IQ, an organization dedicated to bringing music education to New York City public schools through culturally focused music instruction. Through the program, Daniel helps trace African hand percussion traditions through music in Africa and the Western Hemisphere, introducing students to musical traditions from around the globe and connecting those traditions to science, math, and geographical skills. His classes center on hands-on music making and give students the opportunity to develop their skills as an ensemble. He also leads student performances and recitals, helping students bring their work from the classroom to the stage. At Concorde Education, Daniel teaches music, drumming, percussion, and podcasting in schools throughout New York City. In 2026, he joined Young Audiences New York (YANY), expanding his work as a teaching artist and helping bring music to students across all five boroughs. His educational work focuses on creating accessible and engaging musical experiences while encouraging students to explore culture and develop their own creative voices.

Daniel has also contributed to the broader arts community as a panelist for the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation, evaluating and allocating New Jersey State Council on the Arts Individual Artist Fellowships and helping support composers and other individual artists through state-funded opportunities.
