Danielle Sampson

Danielle, who recently moved to Seattle from San Francisco, teaches piano and voice. She grew up singing in church choirs and accompanying her school music groups. She studied classical voice at the Lamont School of Music and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and has made a career of performing baroque music. She performs regularly with early music ensembles in the area, and has collaborated with local composers and jazz musicians. Offstage, however, she loves to sing pop, rock, and blues. She is featured on Makeunder's Great Headless Blank EP. 

Danielle teaches to share the pure joy of music. She helps her students to develop their ear, their sight-reading, and their comprehension. She works to create well-rounded students, sharpening their theory and expanding their musical palate. Her voice students are encouraged to accompany themselves, and she invites her piano students to sing. She aspires to cultivate empathy, love of learning, and compassion through music.

Wesley Speight

Wes Speight, a singer/songwriter originally from Tennessee, has played many of the venues in Seattle WA and Nashville TN and has toured to places such as Vancouver BC, Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Louisville KY, Manchester TN and Manhattan NY. His music varies widely from bluesy to tribal to acoustic rock.

Speight's music career began in his teens, dabbling at piano and drums. He bought his first guitar at 19 and "started writing bad songs right away." He has since become a bit of a musical virtuoso, adding harmonica, bass, synthesizer/keyboard, mandolin, and percussion to his list. He is also a creative film maker who aspires to compose the musical score for a film someday. Music, says Speight, "is my reason."

Speight's first album, Please EP, was released in 2008 under an independent label. Since then he has released 4 more full length albums independently: 2011's Lie & Wish, 2012's Hackneyed and 2014's Transmigration. In addition to teaching guitar, piano, and percussion, Wesley teaches songwriting through the University of Washington Experimental College.
