I started taking lessons from David in the Summer of 2024 and am continuing to into the present. David’s knowledge of musical theory and composition as well as his expert abilities as an instructor make him an unrivaled choice for piano instruction. In just a few months under his tutelage I’ve gone from very new beginner playing rudimentary pieces to playing Bach. Not only is he an excellent, knowledgeable instructor though he is an absolute joy to meet with and talk to about anything and everything. If you’re considering piano lessons, do NOT pass up on David.

Although I was very young, I will always remember the Altoid stacks and the handwritten and illustrated book about Christmas mice :) thank you for being there for my very first introduction to music and for sharing a deep love for Italianness!

I took lessons with David for about 5 years in my early teens. His passion for the music he teaches and enthusiasm for his students learning is contagious. I highly recommend him as a teacher!

His knowledge about music is just incredible, the different times in history where the music came from etc., personel stories of composers, and the thought about how compositions were created and the rules and traditions in the world of music: just ask David. And the best thing ever, he taught me how to practic!

David is an amazing piano teacher I dont know what would have happened if I had found someone else he is very funny and we are best friends and is very good at teaching you how to play the piano I would not be as good as I am today without him

I started piano lessons as a complete beginner with Dave in 2015. I am adult student, and tend to teach myself new things rather than take lessons. But after some vain attempts to learn piano myself, I found Dave. He is the most amazing teacher. In every class he combines the mechanics of playing the piano with music theory and history. Its a tour-de-force that makes classes interesting and valuable.
Even though we have had to go virtual of late, he is still able to make our sessions fun, interesting, and valuable. And he cant hit my knuckles with a ruler over zoom! (Just kidding, Dave!)
