    About David S.

    5.0
    (2)
    Hello everyone! My name is David, and I am a NYC based performer, producer, and educator. I have been teaching in the area ever since I left high school to students both young and old. I have a great deal of experience, and offer a focused, yet light and enjoyable lesson that allows for individual input and unique experiences. I enjoy making sure that while my students are learning the fundamentals of their instrument, they are also learning about the ideas of music theory, ear training, and music appreciation. I feel that these concepts are just as important as learning where to put your fingers, and I think that this approach creates a well rounded player that understands the real depth and amazing potential of music as an art.

    Performer

    Jan, 2008 - Present

    Barry Herman Entertainment

    I have been playing in dance bands in and around the NYC area for a number of years. This type of playing brings one musicianship into focus- performances are high paced, off the cuff, and require a confident and quick musical intuition. Something different is always happening on the bandstand.

    Private Instructor

    Jan, 2003 - Present

    Private

    I have been teaching one on one private lessons ever since my graduation from high school. Over the years, I have developed a very personable and relaxed style that centers in on what students need to learn, and getting to it in a natural, and unforced way. This makes for lessons that are fun yet focused.
