If you are interested in singing, piano, or beatbox lessons, spanning a variety of styles (pop, rock, musical theatre, jazz etc.), then you've come to the right spot. My name is David, and I am here to help you achieve your musical goals, whether that be surprising your friends at karaoke night, pursuing a career in music, or even just working up the courage to sing or play in front of someone for the very first time. In addition to degrees in Jazz Performance (Voice major & Piano minor) and Music Education, I have level 1 professional voice certification in Evidence-Based Voicework, and level 2 certification in Mechanics of mix and belt, from the Maddie Tarbox Vocal Studio.
I believe in fun, approachable lessons with real results. Music lessons can be an intimidating experience, which is why I aim to keep things enjoyable, while also encouraging my students to challenge themselves to their personal comfort level. My students learn technique and music skills through a focus on the practical aspects of actually making music together (jamming, singing and/or writing songs together, improvisation etc). I believe that the most valuable music education starts with fostering a love for just making music, after which a desire for developing theoretical and technical aspects naturally follows.

Testimonials:
"David is both a great vocal teacher and vocal coach. From a technical standpoint, he was able to quickly identify my biggest underlying issues and bad vocal habits, and he helped me correct them very quickly- I could hear and feel improvements within a couple of weeks! He was also amazing at coaching me with my performances and he helped me to really dig deep and bring out the feeling in my vocal performances. Most importantly, David has always been incredibly kind and a great listener; he has made me feel at ease and created a safe space for me to really grow as an artist." -Mathias
"David is a great teacher who met my expectations and beyond! Thanks to him, I was able to put into practice the basics of Jazz piano (Intermediate level) and experienced tremendous improvements in my playing and listening these past few months. His follow-up is really efficient and has allowed me to stay motivated these past 6 months. I definitely recommend David." -Philippe
"David has really helped me in reaching my musical goals. I find my desire to improve my skill has impacted my motivation to practice daily. At the age of 68 I have improved my skills with piano and added use of my looper and now sing." - Rob
