Danny Devillier, OWNER - INSTRUCTOR

Danny has been teaching, performing, and composing music for 20 years. His vast and diverse experience as a professional musician, coupled with his love for sharing knowledge make for a rich learning experience. Lessons at The Music Room will offer students a chance to sit one-on-one with Danny in a vibrant, creative environment and learn about all the excitement and fun that come with learning an instrument...or instruments!

Danny has performed, toured, and/or recorded with some of the area’s most well-known and respected musicians and bands like...

Bonsoir Catin (with whom he received a Grammy Award nomination in 2015), Balfa Toujours, Joel Savoy, Michael Doucet avec Beausoleil, Dirk Powell, Cedric Watson, Ann Savoy and the Sleepless Nights, Terrance Simien, Mark Broussard, The Pine Leaf Boys, Devils and Trains, the late, great David Egan, Eric Bibb, Mem Shannon, Anders Osbourne, Irene Sage, and Theresa Anderson

He has been commissioned to write and arrange music for the Acadiana Symphony Orchestra, The Dayton Symphony Orchestra, The West Virginia University percussion ensemble, The UL Lafayette percussion and wind ensembles, various dance, theater, and film projects, as well as too many high school marching band and indoor percussion shows to count! 

Danny is on the music faculty of both the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and South Louisiana Community College. 

My son and I both take lessons at the Music Room and we love it. Danny is a great teacher. His guidance has inspired us both to enjoy playing music and to understand it more. Because of all this the two of us have begun playing music together! Thanks Danny!
