Daniel Wilson

Guitar, Piano

Daniel’s music career began to take-off with a passion for songwriting, with guitar being a vessel to do so. He then began to study music (starting at Leederville TAFE) to get a deeper musical understanding and dive right into Perth’s music scene. An interest in improvisation and complex harmony took his studies to WAAPA’s jazz program where he is currently a second year. Now, Daniel is performing original songs, swinging jazz standards and sharing his musical knowledge with a wide range of students.

Gabriel Barros

Drum Specialist

Hi there! I'm Gabriel. I've been a drummer for 8 years and I've done multiple performances inside and outside of school, won several awards and am now looking to start teaching others the same passion I have for music and drums. My typical style sounds like System of a Down, Muse, Green Day, Mother Mother, Nirvana and Foo Fighters. I love faster-paced songs where you can really give it your all and have the most fun playing while showing of your skill! Whether you're learning a new hobby or refining your skills to learn a new song, or preparing for a performance i'm ready to guide and support you on your musical journey, wherever you decide to go!
