    About David C.

    Hi! My name is David. I am a father of two, a 6-year old boy, and 10-month old daughter. I am a retired high school band director of 23 years. My family and I recently located to the Bluffton, SC area from Dallas, TX. I have extensive experience teaching and coaching beginning through advanced level players on every instrument in the band family, including piano. I can be helpful to students at all levels of playing to help sharpen their practice, performance and auditioning skills. I specialize in marching percussion and conducting. If you are interested in developing your rudimental percussion skills, I have insight informed by over 20 years of experience in the Drum Corps activity. For aspiring conductors, I have a Masters Degree in Wind Band Conducting and seek a few individuals to join my conducting studio. Enjoy learning the finer artistic qualities of conducting while exploring some of the finest repertoire in the band and orchestral libraries. Thank you!
