Instruments: Piano Voice
I always encourage my students to progress at their own pace and have fun while doing it. Not everyone improves and learns at different paces and I make sure to emphasize that with my students and when possible with their parents. I personally think that seeing a student reach a new goal is an important part of my job and it makes it all worth it in the end. I like to use positive reinforcement with my students to help them reach their goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Oboe
I start playing the piano when I was 5 and started playing oboe at the age of 8 in Guanran Catholic Music Elementary School in Taiwan- a school that taught music theory, ear-training, aural skills, music history, choir, and orchestra, in addition to regular academic classes. Throughout my life, I have performed as a solo and collaborative pianist, instrumental and vocal accompanist, oboist, choral singer, and conductor in various venues in US, Taiwan, China, and Italy.

Instruments: Piano Ukulele Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I have 5 years of varied teaching experience, as a private instructor, working in several K-12 school environments, and I also hold teaching experience at the undergraduate college level. I enjoy working with students of all ages, and I bring an enthusiasm that centers fun for my young students, while also grounding my lessons in music theory that's tailored to the age and skill of my student. I like to encourage improvisation and spontaneity, but also provide a structure of lesson assignments and exercises. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience started about 10 years ago when I was in Guitar Center looking at keyboards and someone asked me for lessons... I still have that student and many more now and have a very high retention rate and am an upbeat, positive teacher that students enjoy coming back to. The fact that I also play live gigs about 4 nights a week gives my students a chance to see me play live and get inspired, something that is really necessary to keep a student motivated for years.

Instruments: Piano
My name is David Herscowitz, and I've been playing the piano since 1985 and teaching since 2005. I grew up in Los Angeles and moved to Oakland in 2012. I attended the Alexander Hamilton High School Academy of Music in Los Angeles and received my BA in Music from U.C. Santa Barbara. Making music (especially with other musicians) is my favorite thing to do, and teaching others the gift of music comes in a close second! Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional Musician once I was accepted to the Chicago symphony youth orchestral in the 4th grade. I was hired by the University of Chicago to teach private lesson to high school students when I was a sophomore In highs school. This has been a awesome journey and I am ready to plant plenty more seed into the new students that will allow me to embark upon their journey as a musician.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes music runs in my family. My grandmother had 12 children and all of them sang in the choir and played different instruments . They was called the Crosby Harmonizers and they performed throughout Chicago IL. I come from a family of 6 and my mother played the clarinet, my brothers sang in the choir, and two of them played the trumpet. One of my brothers was accepted to the same college I went to on a full scholarship playing his trumpet. My sister and I did clarinet and flute duets in the church. I Have a 7 year old daughter that plays the clarinet and she is in the north Memphis mass marching band.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I currently have a Bachelors of Science in Music Performance. Being introduced to music at a very young age lead me into wanting to continue my passion with music. My gift made room for me to teach students something that is very special to this world. Music is something special and it relax our mind and prepare for peaceful environment.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love to play gospel, classical, R&B, Hiphop, Jazz, Marching band music and the list goes on.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Once you learn how to play the clarinet, its very easy to learn the saxophone and flute because they are very similar in many ways .
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice section usually runs between 45min to a 1hr. We will have warm up time and then we will proceed in to our normal lesson. I will allow students to help me to better assist them on what they will like to learn and accomplish through out their lesson. If the students have any music from school that they need to tackle and work on we will work on that as well as the material I have prepared for the lesson. Sight reading rhythms and cross curriculum assignment will also be apart of our weekly lessons.
