Patient, clear cello tutor
David helped my son prepare a short cello audition piece. My son finished his lesson feeling much more confident about his audition. He reported that David was very patient and gave clear instructions that helped him make significant progress.

Experienced and great tutor
I am very happy we found David to work with our son. David is very knowledgeable; even though our class was remote, he could tell us what adjustment was needed for our son's cello. I am happy he is teaching our son how to read music too, something he was not learning yet at his school orchestra. We will continue working with David, and look forward to seeing progress. I highly recommend him!

Very clear, specific instruction
My 10 year old has been working with David all summer. I wasn’t sure how digital lessons would go, but David is very experienced with the format and a skilled cellist himself; he does a great job giving clear, specific instructions over Zoom. I don’t love digital learning, especially after doing it during the pandemic for so long, but David is really good at it and I am not sure my sons growth would be any different if they were actually in the same room? His feedback on techniques, etc, is very clear. And the digital format is sure convenient! We hope to keep lessons going with him this fall.

Insightful Tutor
David listens, watches, and gives actionable feedback. The quality of the instruction is excellent. I know that as long as I apply myself with David's guidance my cello playing will improve and grow.

Patient with this adult student :)
David is teaching me Cello by ear to start (Suzuki method) and I've already learned quite a bit in just 4 lessons. He is patient and repeats over and over whatever I need him to.
