Please note: David is now only accepting enquiries from adult learners who are keen to return to the piano, and/or from pianists who are of Grade 7 ABRSM standard or higher.
Lessons are taught in person only, from a dedicated music room within a family home in Tring, Hertfordshire. A waiting room is also available (with WiFi, if required), for those waiting for lessons and for those accompanying students to lessons.
David's teaching pianos are a KAWAI GM10 4'11" baby grand piano and, for more advanced students, a reconditioned 1902 Steinway & Sons Model B.
For 29 years, David offered his students an annual opportunity to perform to around 100 members of the public. A daunting prospect for many novice performers, the experience was made easier by the encouraging atmosphere created by parents and pupils who were all in the same boat! The annual pupils' concert was held during the autumn at St Martha's Church, Tring.
Currently, there are no plans to revive this annual tradition. However, David's performance piano - a Yamaha C5 grand piano - remains at St Martha's, and practice performances can be arranged within this lovely venue.
