Hello future students and parents!

I am so excited to start working with you! I am an experienced trumpet player currently earning my degree in trumpet performance on a full-ride National Merit scholarship at the University of North Texas, one of the nation's largest and most premier music institutions. During my musical career, I have participated in a large variety of ensembles including concert band, orchestra, jazz band, latin jazz, chamber ensemble, trumpet ensemble, brass band, and more. I have experience with the honor band system as I was in the California All-State Band. I played at the Walt Disney Concert Hall and had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Bing Wang, associate concertmaster of the LA Philharmonic Orchestra. In addition, I have experience playing lead trumpet in the jazz lab bands here at UNT. I have studied under Caleb Hudson of the Canadian Brass. With my diverse knowledge and experience, I will be able to help my students excel in whatever they want to do.

Some of the most influential people in my life have been my trumpet teachers so I take teaching very seriously. I would not be where I am today without my teachers, and I want to pass on the knowledge they gave to me to my students in the most effective way possible.

Even though music and trumpet is my career, I believe that we PLAY music not WORK music. This is why I strive to make sure that all my students enjoy their lessons and have fun playing the trumpet because the most growth happens in students that are self-motivated and want to practice on their own. My teaching approach is very goal-oriented and is suitable for all levels of trumpet players, from beginning all the way to advanced. I am acutely aware that every student learns differently and I adapt my teaching to fit the exact needs of each student in order to ensure maximum learning. Also, my teaching is flexible to the goals of each student, whether it be general improvement, audition prep, basics, solo preparation, or anything else.

Great Teacher!

David is a fantastic teacher! He communicates the music concepts very well to my 11 year old son and my son loves the lessons.

Excellent teacher

Thank you David for a great lesson with my son. You were very motivating and positive and gave him great tips. He learned a lot and enjoyed it. I like that it’s also easy to see your availability in real time.

David is a very accomplished trumpet musician.

David will teach you the little things about trumpet playing- so the student can succeed in playing the trumpet the right way so when it’s time to play music it is more enjoyable. Darrell🎺

Thanks David

David is a great teacher who is very good with my son. He introduces him to music right at his level but still very engaging stuff. As a UNT jazz lab player, David has chops, but I was really happy to see him be so good with my son.

Knowledgeable And Patient Tutor

David has a very calm demeanor that helps my 9 year old stay focused. David gives very clear instructions and is able to teach my son at my son's level so that he understands. David also gives encouragement for my beginner son.

Knowledgable and patient

My 13yo son Davis loves working with David. He has a ton of experience and is very patient with beginners. My son played alto sax for 2 years and switched to trumpet this summer. David is helping him get some experience under his belt before starting 8th grade band. I think he will well prepare him for his band director this fall!

Friendly, Helpful Tutor

My son (age 12) had his first trumpet lesson with David. After a year of not touching the trumpet due to COVID, my son had seemed to have forgotten all he learned. After one session with David, he was back to playing his old songs and had the confidence he needed to start practicing again. David had some very useful tips and was so friendly. My son said he'd definitely have another lesson with him again!!

Great tutor!

My 10 year old son started trumpet lessons with David recently. He has been very patient with him and does a great job teaching in a way my son can understand!

patient tutor

David is patient and easy to talk to and work with. David is on time as to start of class session and no rushing thru lessons due to closing up at lesson end time but wrap it up smoothly and nicely. So far, after first lesson, son like him and looking forward to 2nd lesson.
