My teaching style is upbeat, fun and fast paced.  I like to give written notes for reference when I am not with the student as this serves as an awesome aid when practicing.  If there are questions, I am always an email, text or phone call away.  The assignments I give are realistic, goal oriented and based on the student's level of experience, talent or willingness to apply themselves to their instrumental study.

I have 15+ years experience as a drummer, guitarist, and song writer. I love teaching and I love music, so it's a joy to mix them together. I began teaching music when I was in high school. I stuck with it through college and into my 20's because it's a great way to connect with families in my community. In addition to teaching music, I play in a band as well as perform solo. Read More

By Janna R. on 4/1/2015 Drum, In studio David is a very skilled drummer and a very enthusiastic teacher. In lessons, he seems to like to split time between practicing rudiments and learning to play different rhythms on the set.

David is very positive, pointing out things that are going well and interesting rhythms that they discover. I am really glad we found David--he is an excellent teacher and I love watching my daughter learn so much about music! Read More
