Davi Martinelli de Lira is an eminent percussionist, timpanist, drum set player and educator who has established an admirable career in the USA and abroad. Well-known as an international chamber and orchestral musician, he is a current member of the Southwest Florida Symphony and the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra.

Davi was a founding member of the Paulo Costa Trio, a Jazz/Brazilian music group that made a big impression on the Ohio Northeast’s music scene. Side by side with Paulo Costa (singer and guitarist) and Felipe Brito (trombonist), Mr. Martinelli de Lira performed in multiple establishments in Cleveland, Akron, Cincinnati and Columbus, bringing the most authentic and captivating Brazilian rhythms to thousands of people.

As an educator, Davi has given masterclasses and coached percussion students in several summer festivals and conservatories around the world, including Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and the United States. In addition to privately teaching percussion, timpani and drum set, Davi was a faculty member of the Jumpstart Program, a social project led by Colburn School in Los Angeles, California from 2019-22, and currently maintains a private teaching studio.

Aside from music, Davi also likes to work out, go out with friends and practice sports, such as soccer, swimming, and Kung Fu, which he believes bring balance to his physical and mental health.

Davi has been amazing to work with! The kids respond  very well to him and he has catered his approach to the different kids, he even changes what type of music he teaches them with to their favorite songs. This keeps this engaged and excited for lessons. We started the kids on lessons when they were 6 & 7 and they have done very well and progressed. I would highly recommend Davi to anyone wanting to start their kids on drums/percussion or advance their own knowledge.

I took online lessons with Davi a few years ago. At the time I was the drummer of Soluarea, a Brazilian Rock/Reggae/Funk band. Davi helped me to polish my technique and improved my music theory knowledge. Due to his lessons I acquired a better control on the set and was able to learn songs faster. I really enjoyed his teaching approach!

"I took a few lessons with Davi while I was preparing for an audition for the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional del Ecuador's Percussion/Timpani position. His knowledge of all the percussion instruments was impressive, and he had a clear concept about every single excerpt. His comments were super helpful and it definitely elevated my playing. In the end, I was fortunate to win the audition! I am really grateful for Davi's guidance in this process."

Davi helped me prepare for an upcoming timpani audition. His comments were super helpful and easy to digest. With his experience and guidance I am feeling much more comfortable with the repertoire. I strongly suggest his lessons to anyone who wants high level feedback!

"Mr. Lira taught my 12 year old daughter for a year. He was always patient with her and attentive. She loved the lessons and got very excited about percussion while working with him. Unfortunately we've had to put a pause on lessons for the time being, but we can't wait to start them again!"

As a program coordinator, I worked with Davi in the Jumpstart Program at the Colburn School. From our youngest beginning students to our most advanced high schoolers, Davi excelled at bringing the best out of every student in both private lesson and group class settings. During the 20-21 school year, Davi taught private lessons to numerous Jumpstart percussion students, assisted the Year 1 beginning Jumpstart Percussion group class, and facilitated end-of-the-year juries, in virtual and in-person settings. One of Davi’s most redeeming qualities is his patience and willingness to work with our students and families who come from a wide variety of cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. Over the 3 years he was part of Jumpstart, his reliability and positivity made him an ideal teacher for the program. Any student or family would be fortunate to work with such a versatile and caring musician like Davi!
