Who am I...

Ever since I started playing, I have been performing in churches.  For many years, I played in the church I grew up in and then performed in a low brass quintet that traveled the area performing in churches.  I have done many solo acts, but enjoy performing with piano the most.

I grew up in Monroe, NC and went to Forest Hills High School.  I started my career playing trombone in Middle School.  Just one year later, I was selected to my first All-District Band.  As I progressed through High-School, I was continuously selected into All-County, All-District and NC All State Honors bands as well as NC Western Regional Orchestra and NC All-State Honors Orchestra.  As a senior, I was first chair trombone in the NC All-State highest honors band.

I continued my playing at Wingate University where I studied music and business.  I currently am a member of the Hickory Grove Baptist Church Orchestra and also perform in other local groups

Today, I live in Harrisburg, NC with my wife Rachelle and two daughters, Rylee and Addison.  I am looking forward to passing on my passion of music to my children.

About Me

​Daniel Ford - Trombone

I am passionate about helping others learn to play and perform and giving my time to local schools. 

Biography

Throughout the years, I have played with many groups, including the Charlotte Civic Orchestra, Queen City Brass, Union Symphony, many church groups and brass quintets. 

I also want to use the Trombone to minister to others.  I enjoy performing at church as part of the service.  I can use your pianist and put together anything from a single song as part of special music, or I can put together a full service where I tie songs to their history and walk through the Bible. 

Music should be relaxing...

​ 

There is no better feeling than playing an instrument.  It can take away all the stresses of the day.  This is how I feel when I play and I want others to experience the same thing.
