Very knowledgeable and patient

David is very music savvy. He can help with every music thing you can think of. Protools, logic, read music, play music and the list goes on. Great tutor. Very nice and patient. Thank you Dave.

Enthusiastic Knowledgeable Kind Teacher

David taught my son music theories, history and composition. He also advised in my son’s college transfer applications and interview. David is so thoughtful and kind. My son really enjoyed working with him and looks forward to future lessons in composition and music courses.

Helena, 26 lessons with David

Patient and helpful

David has been a great teacher for my daughter, and is extremely patient and kind. She grown a lot in her playing since starting lessons with him, and I’m extremely thankful to him. She enjoys meeting and playing her French horn with him, and I can definitely hear improvement in her sound.

French Horn Tutor

David is as patient as Job. I am 63 years old and allows me more time to get things right. This lesson was full of quality information.

A very patient tutor

My embaucher was in horrible shape so he allowed me to rest while he talked about the French Horn. He gave me much needed tips that I had long forgotten in playing this very difficult instrument. I am already looking forward to our next lesson!

Really great tutor

He has been really patient with all the lessons and at first knowing nothing to almost learning a really hard piece in around a month and I am really appreciative of how supportive and encouraging he can be when you mess up. He gives really good advice and I highly recommend taking classes if you ever need help focusing or just even learning segments. Highly recommend

Overall very good.

I was able to get a little more understanding on the cut/paste process, and couple of other things about my DAW Logic Pro X. This was just my first one hour through this website so I did not go in with high expectations because technology can be a problem, and it was for a portion of the hour. The tutor graciously discounted our visit a bit for that so very appreciated he recognized it on his own. On the down side, the website itself, Wyzant has some limitations when it comes to music tutoring, and as such I'm a little disappointed the website fails in these areas - again, not the tutor's fault - but the website platform itself. Hopefully Wyzant will pay attention to these things, and will provide an updated platform so music folks can take full advantage of the technology so there is more satisfaction overall

Lesson with DAVID P.

I experienced my very first lesson today with David P. Although this is my first time using a tutor, I must say he was professional, respectful, on-time, and extremely helpful (to the 10th power). Working with David P. was AWESOME in every sense of the word. He is EXTREMELY knowledgeable. There's no way I can't get an "A" on this paper. I signed up for this session because I'm in a writing intensive class in College and I have to "create a concert" well with CO-VID 19 still hanging around, there are not many concerts I can attend in NYC. Therefore, my professor had us create our own using composers like "Mozart" & "Bach." I'm talking 1700 's. well I'm a "generation X" baby. I love Hip Hop. This was definitely a struggle for me, but NOT after having a session with DAVID P. He's the BEST!. I can't Thank him enough..
