At Levine
David has been a member of the Levine faculty since 2002.
“At Levine, I am allowed to learn daily from varied and talented instructors.”
Teaching Philosophy and Approach
“Much of my philosophy comes from the teachers who have inspired me. Almost any student can learn to play the piano with the proper tools, attitude, support, and instruction. My role is to discover the music within each individual and to draw upon their own creativity, enhancing it. Whether a student intends to make music a career or not, I intend to inspire each person to create their own music that will last them a lifetime.”
