Music by Day — Cultivating Musical Intelligence

Introduction

From the moment your child is born, their brain begins building the pathways that will shape their future. These early years are the most critical window for establishing the foundation that best supports all cognitive development, future learning, and lifelong health.

Most children are formally introduced to music around the time they enter grade school. I specialize in the years before that: prenatal and infancy onwards. This is not a traditional lesson program. It is a carefully designed process that meets your child where they are, supporting healthy movement, fine motor development, and a natural relationship with music that deepens over time.

What Sets This Apart

A Science-Driven Foundation

Every session is rooted in child development research, designed to support neural growth, coordination, and early musical listening during the years it matters most.

Rare Expertise

Fifteen years of teaching, a deep intuitive background in biomechanics and injury prevention, and early multilingual development inform my approach that few educators bring to this age range.

A Curated Process

I work with a select number of families at a time to ensure the highest level of attention, personalization, and ongoing collaboration that this work requires.

Testimonials

Andy Z., student

"I met Day over three years ago, where I briefly heard him play the piano and decided to start lessons with him right away. Day is not only a masterful performer but also an incredible teacher of piano. He works methodically and patiently with me to solve physical and technical issues, while always guiding me to better express the underlying character of the music. He has taught me how to truly focus and listen while producing the best sound on the instrument with ease. Day's sensitivity and passion for the craft inspires me to demand more from my playing, which has enabled me to discover so much more joy, fun, and intrigue from the music that I'm learning. It has been so gratifying to see myself steadily grow as a musician in the past years, and I'm wholeheartedly grateful for Day's instruction and inspiration that made my progress possible."

Nancy S., student

"I feel a great amount of gratitude for having had the opportunity to study piano with Day for 6 years. He has inspired me to fall completely in love with playing the piano. I was first drawn to Day's beautiful playing and have been awed by his ability to impart this passion to his students. It is due to his attention to precise detail in musical expression, combined with his masterful understanding of how to physically achieve the highest quality of sound and execution, that he is able to inspire his students to achieve more than they ever dreamed of in their own musical experience. I unconditionally recommend Day as a piano teacher for students of all ages."

Angel S., student

"Finding the right teacher can change everything, and I say that as a 28 year old who came to piano with zero musical background. What makes Day exceptional is how they listen, not just to you, but to the music you make. Day could identify exactly which part of my body was holding tension just from the way I pressed the keys. Every lesson was adapted to match my pace, my habits, and the way I carry myself. If you're considering lessons with Day, look no further!"
