Instruments: Piano Flute
I have over a decade’s combined experience teaching music to K-12 and adult students of all levels, including four years of TA’ing college-level music courses. I have worked as a private flute and piano teacher, an after-school program instructor, a summer music camp teacher, and as a substitute music theory instructor at a community music school. While at UC Davis, I was a TA for several music courses, including introductory music theory, introductory music history, and intermediate ear training. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ
Teaching piano classes is something I continued at UMass/Amherst with Continuing Education students who were mostly from foreign countries. I thrive on meeting people from all age groups and skill levels. Collaborating with others is what floats my boat! I will ask questions to clarify what you are thinking without using musical jargon. (It can be done!) My goal has evolved with experience. Facilitating my students' understanding of music has the wonderful result of their increased enjoyment in listening to recordings and attending live performances. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Piccolo Music
I do my best to find the "Goldilocks Zone" for each student; I make sure to assign exercises that aren't too easy, but not impossible. One of the newest sayings that I have adopted into my studio is "Nothing is difficult, it is just new". There is nothing in music (or life) that is too difficult; it is just new. You just need to take the time to figure out how to do it. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello
I have written and released my own piano series which I use for beginner and intermediate students of all ages. My method introduces students to vocabulary of rhythm, pitch, music symbols and ensembles. Read More

Hi, my name is Dave and I am a DJ, guitarist, vocalist, remixer, and producer. I attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, and received BMs in Songwriting and Music Synthesis. I've appeared on the commercially released CD titled Cyberfest 2000: Sounds of the Digital Revolution, Volume 1 along with DJ Dan, Moby, Mix Master Mike, BT, Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyke, Carl Cox, and Christopher Lawrence. In 2002, I appeared again on the Epic Records release Shekinah: 13 Artists. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I love watching my students develop their passion for music! And so, I do my utmost to challenge each student as much as possible at their own pace. We will set goals for the students in every lesson. Hitting certain milestones help the students to feel motivated, and want to push themselves more. Each student is different and so they learn differently, I do my best to learn from the student and tailor my teaching style to their particular learning style. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
In high school I wanted to draw comic books!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Jazz is so much fun, and full of different styles within the genre.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I was always writing songs in school and wanted to play them, so I learned piano.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I thought the trombone looked unique, and once I picked it up, I never put it down!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
MM in Performance. Performing on stage is on of my favorite things to do. I've done it so much that it feels natural, so I decided to get my degree in performance. But I do encourage students in high school to think outside of the box and try things in college that might not be as comfortable, just to expand their horizons and see what else is out there.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Start off with short practices (15-30 minutes)
Practice consistently! A little bit every day helps.
Make goals for yourself to accomplish during the practice time.
If something is difficult, practice that part more than anything else.
Listen to professionals playing your instrument so you have a good idea of what kind of sound you should produce.
Listen to recordings of the music you are playing to know what the style/tone of the piece is
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had multiple teachers who inspired me. From elementary school to high school, I had very supportive music teachers who always encouraged me to push myself, join in bands and ensembles, enter into contests and summer camps. Throughout my schooling, I always had someone by my side telling me I could do it, whatever it was.
When will I start to see results?
I believe that depends on how diligently your student practices. Practice time is essential to learning music, or else the once-a-week lesson will have very little impact on the student after a week of not practicing. The students who even dedication 10-20 minutes of practice every day make very good results within the month, because they are developing muscle memory through playing a certain instrument consistently.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They need to be able to focus and listen to instructions for at least 30 minutes. I've had piano students in kindergarten, so it depends on the student. I started playing trombone when I was 9 years old, but I didn't take lessons until I was in high school. The most important requirement for me is that the student wants to learn!
