Dan Foote is a lifelong percussionist. During his growing up years he lived in many places around the world, which gave him opportunities to understand and learn world music. He lives with his wife Penny Foote in Weston, MA and is still an active percussion educator. Dan owns hundreds of percussion instruments, which are neatly displayed in his studio. He brings his instruments to music camps, where he also works as a percussion instructor. Dan joined the Sudbury New Horizons Music group in Massachusetts and loves teaching people of all ages. Dan shares his very colourful journey of becoming a musician, the challenges of going on tour, his passion for teaching and his loving partnership with Penny, who has supported him throughout.
Penny Foote is a yoga instructor and works together with Dan on lessons, that include music. She is Dan’s biggest fan and support, even though her sense of rhythm may not be perfect. Together they have taught at the New England Adult Music Camp in Maine, since its inception.
