Daniel Sherman is a musician and music educator based out of northern Massachusetts. He was recently named High School Band Director at Timberlane Regional High School in Plaistow, New Hampshire after spending the last few years building an extensive private lessons studio throughout southern New England. Dan’s years as a private lessons instructor and chamber coach showed him the impact an enthusiastic and dedicated teacher can have on student success and musical engagement.
Dan sees the importance of professional performing experience and expanding one’s own musicianship as the keys to lasting success in music. Throughout his time in Arizona, he was a sought-after performer in a variety of ensemble settings, having appeared with The Tucson Symphony Orchestra and Brass Quintet; the Southern Arizona Symphony Orchestra; the Marie Osmond Orchestra; and the Pete Swan Big Band. Currently, he is the principal trombonist of the Metrowest Symphony Orchestra and the Co-Music Director of the Timberlane Community Band.
Dan completed all coursework for a D.M.A. in Trombone Performance from the University of Arizona in 2021. He also holds degrees from the University of Florida (M.M.), and Penn State (B.M.E. and Professional Performer’s Certificate). Dan attributes his performance success and his love of teaching to his teachers Michael Becker, Dr. Erik Shinn, and Mark Lusk, as well as his incredibly supportive family.
