Experienced tutor in Guitar in New York, Dan offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Dan worked very well with our ten year old teaching him the rudimentals of guitar and focusing on keeping time. He also always made sure our child was having fun.

Aside from the desired basic outcomes that I achieved from Dans lessons such as good posture, technique, chords strumming patterns, leads, etc. there is much more that I learned.
Dan taught me to welcome music deeper into my life, helping
Me to listen deeper and appreciate so much more in the sound. Dans approach just worked for me, and truly inspired me to become a musician and reach for more. A true gift and an everlasting lifelong impact that
He has made on my life. Go Danl!!

I take weekly guitar lessons with Dan. He's a terrific instructor. I came to him with some basic knowledge of guitar, but he immediately identified the areas that I need to improve, and he has taken me to the next level of skill. I highly recommend him for anyone who is interested in guitar---whether you're a total beginner, or you have some experience but want to "fine tune" your guitar skills.

I am a fellow instructor and performer, I have worked with Dan many times, and in many different contexts, including contexts with students in a group recording situation, his knowledge, patience, disposition, and importantly, his ability to convey his knowledge to others made him a person I would call often for gigs and educational projects. I can't recommend Dan highly enough.

Dan Zellan is an incomparable guitar teacher -- his fun and engaging style allows the student to express his or her musical creativity, from the very start of learning the instrument. Dan's own technical and musical mastery makes him able to explain any concept with ease and simplicity, making learning truly enjoyable. As well, it is always amazing to see him demonstrate and play during lessons, which really helps you absorb and learn in a more effortless way. Thank you Dan Zellan!

My daughter took guitar lessons with Dan. He is an excellent teacher and puts a lot of energy and time on each lesson.

He is an excellent teacher, very reliable and has a positive attitude toward his students. Dan Zellan is a dedicated musician who works on his craft and his enthusiasm for music brings out the best in the students he works with.

I’ve seen Dan Zellan’s student shows and was blown away at how good everyone sounded. His students were as young as 7 right through adult all different styles and every one of them sounded amazing! He either played background himself or if it was a rock song he had a band of pros playing along with them too. Incredible! I really don’t know what else to say. If you want to play guitar really well, Dan Zellan is the guitar instructor for you.

Dan is a seasoned, talented performer and passionate entertainer. He is dedicated to his craft of developing musical programs that are meaningful to his audience, and is well versed in a wide range of musical genres. Dan is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him.
