After having spent eight years in formal music studies and performance with the prestigious Colonial Williamsburg Fife and Drum Corps, Daniel Scruggs continued formal music studies in percussion at the College of Charleston in South Carolina and Arabic Language immersion in Sana’a Yemen. He also has a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia.

Daniel has travelled extensively throughout the world as a student and educator of human cultures and global music-making traditions. These journeys have provided him with opportunities for learning immersion in twenty-three countries throughout five continents.

Daniel created Peace Culture Music to share one-of-a-kind cultural education programs with communities across the globe — from pre-schools to grade schools to colleges, hospitals, retirement communities, students with special needs and learning disabilities, refugees from war torn countries, Native American reservations and more — with hundreds of educators and thousands of children throughout seven countries.

And thanks to Daniel's interest in peace studies, culture and specialized learning methods, he was led to the Montessori method of education, and has created and led workshops for teachers and students in the United States, Canada, Egypt, Ghana, Cuba, and Ethiopia.
