Hello! My name is David, and I am a NYC-based guitarist and music educator. Born and raised in Boston, MA, I completed my bachelor's degree in performance at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in Brussels, Belgium. I have taught guitar in a variety of settings to learners of all ages. During my studies, I offered private one-on-one lessons, in addition to teaching group classes through a local music school. Since finishing my degree and returning to the US, I have worked with several music schools in New England to give at-home and virtual instruction. I am also an active performer in public venues and at private events. Having completed my degree in Brussels, I also studied French extensively, receiving my C1 certificate in 2025. I have previously given music instruction in French in the past, and would be comfortable doing so if preferable.
