Hi, my name is David R. I love teaching and getting students of all ages and experience levels interested in music and leveling up their skills! I'm a local Boston musician and recent graduate from the Berklee School of Music with a Bachelor of Music Cum Laude. As an active musician, I play over 100+ gigs a year in Boston and the New England area including festival dates, and play a variety of styles including Rock, Jazz, Pop, Country, Folk, Bluegrass, RnB, and Funk.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet
I am always continuing to expand my potential as a musician and as a human being. I feel that self-knowledge equates largely to the quality and meaning of music when expressed. Technical abilities are very important of course as they set the limitations of self-expression, though many seem to overlook the deeper purposes and benefits of music. I myself love my craft. From music I gain an intellectual rise through analysis, a creative outlet through improvising and composing, and a great understanding of how my body functions most effectively. Read More

For students beginning on any brass instrument, the Hal Leonard's Essential Elements is the go to for most music educators. I also try to find solo repertoire for students based on their age and level of experience. Performing as a soloist is just as important as being in an ensemble. The Rochut Legato Studies for trombone and Blahzevich Clef studies are also great tools for more advanced students. As for piano students, I try to determine what that student's musical interests are and tailor instruction to their particular level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
I have been teaching a total of 5 years. I currently have a studio of students online now and I am looking to expand my experience teaching. I was excited to complete my graduate thesis in December 2021, Music for Creative Learning. It proposes a specific teaching pedagogy that is meant to stimulate cognitive development, foster creativity, and develop global civics. More importantly it uses music as an interconnective force for creative learning and cultural immersion in education. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele
It's important to me that students are invested in their own lessons, and what this means will differ from student to student. For some five year olds, that may be simply participating in the whole lesson and practicing a few minutes per week. For others, it may mean being challenged with advanced materials. Each student will receive a unique repertoire and lesson based on ability and interests. I focus on technique, then repertoire, then theory, then review for a 30 minute lesson, and younger students will often get a fun music-based game at the end if the lesson has been fruitful.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Keyboard
I consider myself a laid back teacher who still has solid expectations. I understand that each student's feasible time commitment may be different and I would like to honor that. With that said, I expect my students to put time into their music, because that is the only way to make progress and to maximize their ultimate enjoyment of playing an instrument. I will set realistic weekly goals for each student, trying to balance their interests with my evaluation of what they need to work on to make the most progress. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My grandfather was a rag-time and blues pianist, completely self-taught and played everything by ear. He died when I was very young, and I never really heard him play, but one day I just started playing songs by ear and started teaching myself the piano year by year, and the rest is history! I really started learning the jazz language seriously in high school, and then started to master it in college!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school band director of 2 years, before retirement, Mr. Massey, has been one of the best teachers I have ever known. He was the first teacher to truly push me, to get me out of my comfort zone, and to reach my potential the way nobody else saw yet. He was very tough on me, and sometimes I didn't see why, but it made me the musician I am today and inspired many of the methods I use as a teacher and a player that I still use today.
When will I start to see results?
Sometimes results will be hard to see, but I like to see results as becoming more comfortable with the material and challenges that a student is faced with. I strongly encourage my students to record themselves practicing, at jam sessions, listening to concerts, etc. Listening back to these will help students realize how far they have come, and how progression does occur even when it doesn't feel like it. In my vocal tech class at UMass, my teacher assigned us a task called 'video reviews' where we commented on our own singing from videos she recorded in class. Listening to these, I couldn't even believe some of the improvements and accomplishments I had made from earlier in the ear, and would not have realized if it weren't for those videos or that assignment. Progress and results are interesting aspects of music, and they are sometimes invisible, but I promise they always come, whether in small or massive forms!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice with intent! Instead of practicing what you know or what you're already good at, spend more time completely focused on playing those 2-3 bars that you don't know in a piece. Sometimes all you need in a practice session is to master 1 very difficult passage. Sometimes it's learning a whole piece in an hour or two. Create a plan with your teacher, or even by yourself, where you can make progress by a system, and remember that small victories are big victories! Trust me, they add up over time!
