I am a compassionate and nurturing teacher and mentor who loves to work with students to share my love for music. I am patient and dedicated to challenging my students to grow independently to become better musicians and take pride in their hard work and dedication. I have played and studied piano and drums for nearly 30 years and have been teaching for 15 years. I studied music myself privately with a plethora of great teachers and musicians I have performed with many different musicians and bands throughout my career.

He’s patient, a great teacher, professional, punctual and willing to do in-home lessons (not many do, with the pandemic). Would definitely recommend him to anyone look for a great teacher! Silhouette-80 By Jen on 1/9/2022 Drum, In home David is patient, warm and easy to work with. He turned the lessons into games and my boys loved it. He’s very talented but more importantly understands how to communicate with kids and keep them engaged. Silhouette-80 By Reanna on 12/6/2021 Piano, Online Excellent, patient instructor. I'm taking a break through December but can't wait to start back up again with David. Silhouette-80 By Tina on 11/4/2021 Piano, Online David is a pleasant and patient piano teacher. My ten year old son enjoys how David tailors his music to what is interesting to the student , which makes it fun! Silhouette-80 By Nicole Tartaglia on 3/31/2021 Piano, In studio Very nice and works well with kids. We are using him for remote piano for our 5 year old daughter, he helped us with the setup and and it works really well! Already recommending him to my friends with younger kids! Silhouette-80 By Joe on 3/31/2021 Piano, Online Dave is excellent with my 5 year old daughter. Great approach combining music theory and technical training all while keeping the attention of my child. Could not be any happier with our experience:) Silhouette-80 By Avi on 3/31/2021 Audition Prep, In studio We had great experience with David. One of my kids learning drums and the second one - piano. Both of them don’t have any experience before and they do great progress during their learning for 3-4 months - bi weekly zoom lessons. David teach them and help us to select the right instruments and other relevant materials Highly recommended Silhouette-80 By Mendel Sherman on 3/31/2021 Piano, Online David is very patient and very knowledgeable when it comes to teaching music. Would highly recommend David. By Jenifer on 4/5/2017 Piano, Online David explains things in a manner that I could easily understand. He was calm, patient, and respectful of skill level. By J M. on 6/16/2015 Drum, In home Awesome teacher! Not just a great drummer, but patient and articulate. He was really able to help me understand and execute in ways I never could before. Seems like he would also be great with kids...super patient and encouraging! 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. He is also exceptionally patient and supportive with my 9-year-old, highly distractible daughter. 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!
