Daniel Swayze is a pianist native to Portland, OR. After an unusually late start on piano studies at the age of 14, not having a formal lesson until 16, he secured scholarships from the Snowman Foundation, the Piano Santa Foundation, and others to provide him with lessons and a piano to use within his home. After just over a year of studies with pianist Barbara Parker he placed in the top five in Oregon's OMEA Solo and Ensemble Competition. Following this he began studying extensively with Van Cliburn winner Mark Westcott, with whom he still receives coaching and occasional lessons.
Daniel attended Southern Oregon University on a full-tuition scholarship. He graduated summa cum laude in 2011 with a degree in Piano Performance, having received all of the department's highest honors and awards. Has also been a featured soloist with multiple ensembles in performances of Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" and the Grieg Piano Concerto. In 2012 he accompanied the award-winning ensemble Siskiyou Violins in Carnegie Hall as part of the 2012 New York International Music Festival. Daniel completed his Master of Music degree in May 2014 at the Butler School of Music, the University of Texas in Austin, where he studied with Professor Gregory Allen.
