Introduction: PIANO Have you always wished you could play songs by your favorite artists? Billy Joel? Adele? Mozart? My methods are specifically designed to help students reach their own specific goals and I trainin people to be able to play songs they love in a relatively short amount of time - using Chords and Music theory! I also teach traditional piano (reading the Grand Staff) but many people really just want to learn to play songs they love - and I will teach you to do just that! VOICE Have you always wished you could learn and sing your favorite Broadway songs? Phantom? Hamilton? Dear Evan Hanson? My specialty is Musical Theatre and working with singers of all levels to help them be the best they can be! Besides vocal training that is completely goal-oriented (not one size fits all), I handpick great music for you to work. We approach the song from many directions last of which is performance/audition coaching.My method is the customization of lessons towards students' needs and goals! LIVE MUSIC (BANDS) I provide a duo (Salt n'Sugar) that plays upbeat danceable music from the '60s through the 80's - comes with Sound System and Lights. I provide solo piano playing (background ambient jazz or requests, singalongs, Broadway etc. comes with Sound System and Lights DJ This is DJ service that can be loosely customized by the client or the client can partially or fully choose the playlists. Requests by guests taken only at the discretion of the customer - comes with Sound System and Lights.

Dave has instilled confidence and a love of music in our son. He talks to him as if he is a responsible and intelligent student, not a little kid. Dave’s knowledge of all things piano and voice is evident, but his ability to teach this knowledge is a real gift!

Dave is very talented! He was able to bring my daughter to a whole new level of performance and confidence with her voice as well as theater experience. He’s very positive and encouraging as his students learn. He has so much to offer and we can’t recommend him enough.

My children love working with Dave! He's wonderful at helping them with breathing techniques, control, and vocal sound. Dave instills a passion for all things musical into his students, it's exciting to see my kids involved in something they're all so passionate about.

My daughter has been taking voice lessons from Dave for the past 4 years and we absolutely love him. He is extremely positive and encouraging, chooses a wide variety of songs, and he challenges her to be the best that she can be. He has made such an incredible impact and it makes me so happy to see how much my daughters skill and confidence has grown over the years. Because of Dave’s wonderful mentoring and instruction my daughter has had the opportunity to perform in many theatrical productions such as the Muny, Straydog Theatre, Missouri Baptist University, RockShow Productions and CMP. We are forever grateful to have found the perfect voice teacher for my daughter!
