Daniel Fridley: Voice and Piano Teacher
Teaching Philosophy: “Music is a birthright of humanity, giving us a means of communication and emotional expression which transcends written or verbal language. I consider it an honor to guide students through an exploration of music’s many facets. Throughout my own musical journey, I have been blessed to work with fantastic teachers who helped me develop both technique and musicality. They understood that teaching can never be a cookie-cutter approach and that what works well for one student won’t necessarily be the best approach for another. I carry on this legacy by empathetically engaging with students when they face challenges, always grounding them in the joy of making music, while seeking to find ways to adapt my teaching to their learning style, discovering the explanation or approach that resonates most with the student. 
I am committed to furthering the musical interests and creative potential of students – guiding their journeys through technique, musicality, and stylistic exploration to help them discover their own unique musical voice. Whether bound for performances in concert halls or casual but informed listening at home, everyone is enriched by enjoying and making music, and I see my role as a guide along that journey.”

Biography: Daniel Fridley, bass, currently lives in Boston, Massachusetts, where he moved after completing his Doctorate of Musical Arts in Historical Performance Practice at Case Western Reserve University. Cleveland Classical hailed his “spotless, resonant bass” as a virtuosic vehicle suited to a wide range of musical styles, and the Chicago Classical Review asserted that his “subterranean tones seemed to delve deep into Middle Earth with little seeming effort.” Before pursuing his specialization in historical performance practice, he obtained a Master of Music in Vocal Performance at the Cleveland Institute of Music and an Honors Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance and Music Education at Oregon State University.
In recent seasons, Fridley has performed with the Boston Early Music Festival and performed with Teatro Nuovo pursuing a historically informed approach to bel canto repertoire. He has also appeared in the operas of Verdi, Mozart, Handel, Rameau, Rossini, Britten, and Stravinsky, among others.

​In addition to operatic works, he has sung the bass solos for many of the works of Bach (Johann Christoff as well as Johann Sebastian and Carl Emmanuel), Handel, Delalande, Rautavaara, and more. He regularly performs with Boston Baroque, Blue Heron, the Newberry Consort, The Thirteen, and Apollo’s Fire. He also sings with Culomba, an ensemble specializing in the folk music of Eastern Europe and the Balkans, as well as American traditional hymnody.
He brings his musical diversity to his teaching, having taught piano, voice, theory, aural skills, and recorder, as well as guest teaching in music history courses, conducting choirs, chamber orchestras, and symphony orchestras.
His other musical interests include conducting and dance, both historical and ballroom. He also enjoys a well-brewed cup of coffee and exploring the wonders of the natural world.

Daniel has been teaching since 2016 and joined Note-worthy Experiences in June 2023, where he teaches voice and piano.
