His approach is custom-made to the student and administered in a caring manner. The studio that Dr. Chapa has built at Tyler Junior College is second to none, including top universities. He stays active as a performer as well as provides an example as a husband and a father. Dr. Danny Chapa is a top-notch human being!"
