It goes without saying that David is an accomplished musician on several instruments. I found him to be an excellent and responsive teacher as well. I started off thinking I would reconnect with the piano through lessons, but quickly discovered that my heart was no longer in playing a solo instrument. I asked David if he would help me with ear training instead, as I am singing in several amateur choirs. Although he was clear that he is not a voice coach, he has an excellent ear and agreed to this change in direction. He came to each session prepared with something new to work with, including some apps I could use on my phone to build my skills. He created an environment in which I felt comfortable to sing alone and make mistakes. We used my choir materials to explore some theory concepts, but he also surprised me with his own exercises. In the end, I feel more confident. I grew musically with his help and encouragement. His tutelage will allow me to enjoy my choir singing more. Thank you David!

When all is said and done there are only a few simple steps one needs to follow. Of course, this means simple to describe and a lifetime to master.
Another perspective from Louis Armstrong. A Perspective that works every time. 1. Memorize the melody. 2. Mess with the melody. 3. Mess with the mess. If I can help you, call me. David  Books and Websites on deliberate practice
Happy Practicing. David |
You've got to learn your instrument. Then, you practice, practice, practice. And then, when you finally get up there on the bandstand, forget all that and just wail.
