    Many years of drum instruction with students who have learned best with alternative learner-centered approaches including: extreme patience, slow to fast repetition of patterns and exercises, focused breathing, as well as sight-reading, rhythm and ear training. Students with: Asperger's, Autism, Dyslexia and related states have benefited greatly.

    David is an awesome teacher and friend. I came to him barely knowing anything about ableton, and in 9 hours worth of sessions, learned so much. I feel way more comfortable navigating and creating on ableton. He's a great supporter and I really appreciate everything he has done. Wooo thank you David!!

    David is an awesome instructor. I've been taking flamenco guitar lessons for a few months now and have seen a lot of progress. He is calm, encouraging, and fun to play with; everything you'd want in a guitar teacher.

    I have been working with learners in both one-on-one and classroom/workshop settings for over twenty years. I have taught learners of all ages from diverse backgrounds, each with unique skillsets. My principal subject matter is drum set instruction, but I also teach flamenco cajón, Ableton Live, audio production, beginner flamenco guitar, and Spanish language!
