About Daniel

Hello! My name is Dan Franssell. I was in the Army Band for over 26 years where I played the violin and viola. I have been teaching during my time in the band and since. I enjoy teaching and would very much like to give you violin lessons. I live in Lorton on Gunston Rd. My phone number is (concealed information) I look forward to hearing from you.

Daniel Franssell has been active in music in the Washington metro area for more than 30 years. He received his degree in Music Education from the University of Minnesota. His musical career began as a public school music teacher in Faribault, Minnesota. For two years he taught private lessons and directed the elementary string program, as well as the junior and senior high school orchestra programs. At the time, his major instrument was violin. He then auditioned on violin and was accepted in the United States Army Band (Pershing's Own), mostly playing the viola. While in the United States Army Band he played for the administrations of five United States Presidents, as well as many dignitaries from around the world.

Orchestral Experience
Mr. Franssell spent almost 27 years in the United States Army Band during which time he played in the United States Army Band Orchestra. This orchestra gives concerts for the public and plays standard orchestra repertoire from all western music periods. The 20 string players of the United States Army Band form a group know as the Strolling Strings. The Strolling Strings perform at dinners at the White House, State Department, Supreme Court , Library of Congress, and many other government and military locations.

Chamber Music Experience
As a string member of the United States Army Band, Mr. Franssell was the viola player in string quartets that performed hundreds of times in the Washington area - also at the White House, State Department, Supreme Court , Library of Congress, and many other government and military locations.

Conducting Experience
For 23 years Mr. Franssell was the Music Director of his church, where he directed the choir, as well as the 3-octave handbell choir. Besides the weekly rehearsal and Sunday anthems, the choir sang larger works, such as Handel's Messiah and Schubert's Mass Number 2 with orchestral accompaniment. He continues to serve as a violinist for his church in Sunday morning worship services.

About the lesson

Mr. Franssell teaches private lessons on violin and viola, and coaches chamber music in his home studio in the Lorton/Woodbridge area of Northern Virginia.

Mr. Franssell nurtures each student to rise to his or her greatest potential. He teaches viola and violin with his own method of teaching, which is a traditional teaching method. Mr. Franssell tailors lesson assignments to develop the individual skills of each student. In addition to solo repertoire, all students study scales, left hand technical studies, bowing technique, etudes, and music theory.

Mr. Franssell is a kind a patient teacher. He enjoys music very much and he is good at instilling his enjoyment for music in others. Some teachers are good at teaching just the mechanics of instruments, but Mr. Franssell teaches both the mechanics as well as artistic expression. I recommend him highly.
