Jacob Daniel

Jacob Daniel has been a low brass educator and performer for over 13 years and has an expanded background of experience that he brings to the table. 

Jacob received his bachelor's in music education from East Carolina University and received his master's in tuba performance from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. During that time, he performed with groups such as the Minnesota Orchestra, Mankato Symphony Orchestra, The Miami City Ballet Orchestra, The Royal Winnipeg Ballet Orchestra, the Wilmington Symphony, and the Legend of Zelda Symphony of the Goddesses. He received a gold medal for the Student Division at the 2012 Leonard Falcone International Tuba and Euphonium Solo Competition and the 2013 SERTEC Student Solo Competition.

Daniel also has an extensive background in the marching arts as an instructor of both brass and visual performance. He has taught with groups including Crossmen Drum and Bugle Corps, River City Rhythm Drum and Bugle Corps, Nation Ford HS, Irondale HS, Hastings HS, Corinth Holders HS, and Northern Nash HS. He is currently on staff with the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum and Bugle Corps as a tuba instructor. During the week, Jacob is a low brass private lesson teacher and sectional coach throughout Fort Mill ISD with recurring success in students receiving All State Band callback auditions for 3 years running. When not engulfed in the band world, he likes to enjoy a cup of coffee, play video games, and spend time with his wife Micah and their cat Tchai”cat”sky aka Chai.
