Take Private French Horn Lessons

About Me

I am a enthusiastic and energetic teacher currently in my 3rd year of the BA in Music Education program at California State University Fullerton. I currently play bassoon in the top wind ensemble and saxophone in the jazz band. Through my studies, I have learned all woodwind and brass instruments, violin, and piano at a proficient level.

Most importantly....

I believe that music should always be enjoyable and entertaining, and it is my goal to create such an environment that the learning process is not hard and arduous, but feasible, satisfying, and delightful. It is my passion to teach and to see my students' dreams succeed, whether it be through careful instruction, or haphazard and wild music-making. I learn to adapt to my students, to my peers, and to anyone around me very fast, so there are no worries in not getting the highest quality education.

About Me

Music has been a part of my life since I was 5 years old, when my father would record my brother and I singing. I always loved singing and learned many of my favorite songs as a child.

I started playing the trumpet in the 4th grade, which has led me all the way to receiving my degrees in Trumpet Performance and Music Education! I was lucky enough to attend one of the nation's top music schools, The Peabody Institute, and I now work toward my Master's degree at California State University, Long Beach. I have enjoyed performing in everything from big-band-lead to principal trumpet in the orchestra, leading brass quintets and brass ensembles, and much more! The trumpet has been a huge passion for as long as I can remember now!

While I was learning songs as a child, I decided I wanted to join a band! Now here we are 10 years later and I've have the fortune of performing as a lead singer in bands across the country, and let me tell you there is no bigger thrill than getting...

About Me

Originally from Indiana, David has been teaching music in both the private and public school sectors for 12 years. Getting his start as a drumline instructor with only 4 students, David soon expanded his teaching to include both guitar and piano, which he studied under Frank Puzzulo (of Miles Davis' group) at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana.

Upon graduating Ball State, David moved to Colorado to study jazz and classical music with Dr. Douglas Walter, an accomplished percussionist who is known for his versatility and multiple percussion talents. He also studied piano and guitar in his off time, jamming with several rock and jazz groups both in and out of school.

In 2006, David left the college scene with a Masters in Music and moved to Florida where he began his teaching career. In Florida, David taught roughly 70 students, ages 5 to 18, at Wewahitchka High School and Middle School. He was beloved by the town, helping out in the community as a local organist...
