Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard

My name is David I'm a Classically Trained Composer/Pianist/Producer/ Audio Engineer. An American Dominican born in Bronx New York. Although I am Classically trained I am also self-taught so my teaching style is unorthodox. My goals as a teacher are not to teach how to play the keyboard but to unlock the inner music in you. The objective of teaching students is not just to learn how to play a couple songs but to unlock the inner creativity in a student. Read More

I am a motivated and fun-loving music teacher of all age ranges. I have been teaching private voice and piano lessons since I was a senior in high school, and I love working with all of my students and watching them grow throughout the course of our lessons. I graduated magna cum laude from The Hartt School in 2001, receiving my BFA in Musical Theatre Performance. A year after I graduated from college, I knew that I wanted to teach in schools along with teaching privately, so I got my PreK thru 12th Grade Music Teaching Certification for the State of CT through The ARC Program, and have been teaching in both the private and public school settings ever since.

I've been teaching since graduating high school part but I've been teaching consistently for the last 5 years since graduating college.

If the student is not having fun then I am not doing my job correctly.There does however need to be consistent practice in order for someone to progress with the instrument. Read More

From my experiences teaching in classroom settings, I have come to realize the importance of setting short and longer term learning goals for my students and adjusting these goals together with them as we work towards reaching these objectives. Sometimes the goals are very specific, like mastering a particular concept, or practicing towards a specific audition, and some, more general, like developing certain techniques which then need to be further explored and practiced by the student.

I was Assistant Director of the NYU Mixtapes, our competitive a cappella group that took first place of the ICCA Northeast Quarterfinals in 2016 and 2 awards for Outstanding Arrangement and Choreography.

Instruments: Voice

Depending on the student's age and wishes, the lesson will be a playful voice exploration or knowledge-sharing instructions. For all my students, I use physiologically based training methods, when it comes to voice technique. After some time, I know your voice better to lead you to a legit yet powerful sound or work with you on genre-specific details. I implement improvising games into my lessons, as they let my students play with their musical ideas and make use of their creativity. Read More

I grew up singing in the children's choruses of The Metropolitan Opera and NYC Opera, dancing at The School of American Ballet in The Julliard School at Lincoln Center.

After that I moved back to NYC where I maintained a wonderful studio of singers and some pianists for about five years. 6 years ago I moved out to New Haven where I have made my home. Read More
