Dale R. Baldwin is a pianist, percussionist, private teacher, conductor, clinician, and rising composer for film and television, from Wallingford, Connecticut. He is currently the piano teacher and composer for the Hamden Academy of Dance and Music, among various other musical positions he holds around Connecticut.

Dale received his Bachelor of Arts in Percussion degree from the University of Connecticut in May of 2012 and was an active member of both the university's Winds and Percussion Ensembles. In his studies, he has taken advanced courses in composition, orchestration, conducting, percussion technique, and brass technique. Though his official primary instrument is percussion (10 years), he has actually spent the majority of his life playing the piano (18 years) and guitar (12 years), while taking occasional private lessons in trumpet. Dale's teachers include Nancy Campagnola, Ronald Blouin, Jacqueline Rodriguez, Peter Coutsouridis, acclaimed marimbist Haruka Fujii, American Symphony Orchestra percussionist Javier Diaz, and orchestral composer Kenneth Fuchs, who has twice been nominated for a Grammy award.

Currently a freelance instrumental composer for Ear Goo Inc. in New York City, Dale writes multi-genre works for film, television, promotional trailers, and advertisements. His vast clientele includes household names such as Universal Studios, Paramount Pictures, MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, Sony, Revlon, and Coca-Cola. Dale is represented by Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI), a world-renowned performing rights organization that also represents artists such as Eminem, Shakira, and Maroon 5. Dale's music for marching band is performed on a weekly basis this season in USSBA Class III competitions around Connecticut by the Trojan Marching Band at Lyman Hall High School, where he holds a job as their percussion instructor.

As a clinician, Dale has been asked to judge timpani, mallet percussion, and snare drum at several Regional Music Festivals around the state since 2009. He has also given presentations on the importance of installing/maintaining a music and arts curriculum in the Connecticut public school system as well as the history and proper care of mallet percussion instruments. As a performing musician, he has played in live productions and musicals with both the Connecticut Repertory Theater and the Church of the Resurrection Youth Group, while winning numerous awards for his musicianship, including Lyman Hall’s “Outstanding Musician Award” for three consecutive years. Dale’s interests include baseball, video games, creative writing, jogging, and the ocean.
