The songs you sang as a child bring peace and youthful tranquility whenever you think of them. I remember singing Aloha, Oi as a kid, and because the music was too hard for the piano player, I sang it a cappella. That experience and song have become an indelible part of my memory forever. That day, I not only discovered my talent for music, but the concept that I needed to use this talent to be happy and successful in this life. I work hard every day to continue to develop my talent. There is so much to know that I may never learn it all, but the enjoyment it brings has made a lasting impact on my life and those around me. My music school is an extension of that continuing quest.&#8221; \u2014 Dan Whitley<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><a href=\"\/?page_id=100\">Read a brief history about Dan&#8230;<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dan Whitley Tribute to The Lettermen 2\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/olhSPlPgrcQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"passster-form\" id=\"ps-711\">\n    <form class=\"password-form\" method=\"post\" autocomplete=\"off\" target=\"_top\">\n        <span class=\"ps-form-headline\">Protected Area<\/span>\n        <div class=\"ps-form-instructions-wrap\">This content is password-protected.
