About CMS Music Teachers
Daniel Leonard Choir Director, General Music 6-8
daniel.leonard@colchestersd.org
Mr. Leonard is excited to be returning to the CMS Music Department for his 4th year. In west Philadelphia he was born and raised, and before moving to Vermont, lived in New York City, where he worked as a musician and actor. He recieved his B.F.A in Theater from Marymount Manhattan College, and his MA in Music and Music Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. He plays a wide variety of musical instruments, and thoroughly enjoys singing and making music. He also enjoys gardening, hiking, swimming, camping, and generally being outside in nature. Mr. Leonard wants everyone to engage with music in one way or another - there is always room for more voices in the choir!
