I'm a Juilliard graduate based in New York City and teach beginning to advanced brass players.

Deadly! My son totally enjoyed his free lesson with David. He learned three tips to help him improve with fluency and technique. David made sure to encouraged my son throughout the session all while helping him to fell competent with the trumpet. My son is eager to start his sessions.

Deadly! As a former student (many years ago) of Berklee College of Music in Boston, I can say with confidence that David is a superb teacher. My son is just learning the trumpet and we are very lucky to have found David. He is patient, encouraging, and his love of music inspires you to become a better musician. He watched, listened, and assessed my son's ability, and then the lesson took off to another level. He taught new techniques to strengthen his embouchure and then explained about phrasing within the music. David will not only teach you to become more proficient, he will teach you to play from your heart. As soon as we got home from the lesson, my son picked up his trumpet and started practicing. He can't wait for his next lesson!

Deadly! Here is a brief update on Michael.
My son Jack, is very comfortable working with him and has made great progress. My son will be prepared by Feb. For his grade school big performance. Let's hope he likes playing for an audience or doesn't switch to the drums! Iam very happy we connected.

Deadly! I recently had the pleasure of taking a bugle lesson with David and it was a fantastic experience. David's expertise and passion for music were evident from the very beginning. He has a remarkable ability to break down complex techniques into manageable steps, making it easy for even a beginner like me to understand and apply them.
David's teaching style is both patient and encouraging. He took the time to listen to my goals and tailored the lesson to meet my specific needs. His constructive feedback helped me improve my playing significantly in just one session. Additionally, David's enthusiasm for brass instruments is contagious, and it made the lesson not only educational but also incredibly enjoyable.
I highly recommend David for anyone looking to learn or improve their brass instrument ability. His knowledge, teaching skills, and positive attitude make him a great instructor.

Deadly! I took a French horn lesson to refresh myself after years of not playing it. David was very good at telling and showing, and by the end of the lesson I was able to play some basic notes. He also did a good job explaining introductory music theory to me, and I walked away understanding it pretty well.
