David has previously taught both as a private instructor, through music schools in the central NY area and in Boston, as well as at Ithaca College. As an instructor, he is focused on providing a nurturing and exploratory space for students to find their passion with their instrument. Early lessons focus on approaching the instrument in a relaxed freeing way, finding a physical setup that will enable the student to have the most flexibility in performance. Beginning cello students typically use Suzuki method books, in which David has taken certification training. However, the curriculum is frequently adjusted based on the student’s interests and goals.
