He has a passion to his students! My son has enjoyed his lessons. He has a right direction how to play horn as a beginner and leads my son very wisely to focus on his learning. We all are satisfied with his teaching!
Professional and Extremely Helpful

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 and extremely helpful (to the 10th power). Working with David P. was AWESOME in every sense of the word
Wonderful French horn teacher

He’s very accommodating and helpful French horn teacher! He had the patience and skill to help a new French horn player that is also new to music, while also having the skill and knowledge to help a more advanced student. Greatly appreciate him teaching the students tips and tricks to help their playing! Additionally, he sent thorough notes on how the kids can continue to practice on their own between lessons. Highly recommend!
