EDUCATOR

TEACHING ARTIST

David is currently a Teaching Artist for the education department of Lincoln Center Theater in NYC (songwriting, vocal directing), Queens Theater (songwriting, general performing arts) and for the I’m Bright Kid Foundation (summer performing arts program) in Kaneohe, Hawaii. He teaches grades 2-12 in Manhattan as well as in the Brooklyn, Queens and Bronx boroughs.

David believes that music and performing arts education is a singularly important part of any youth development, no matter what life’s journey has to offer, no matter what career or higher education path one decides to take. The skills obtained (technical, artistic and social), the culture absorbed and the history learned are the elements that will form back bone of our future generations.

“There is sheer joy in the efforts to impart my knowledge and experience to our youth”, he says, “and at the end of the day, this is all about lifting people up, building character and self-esteem through self discovery, teamwork and having fun doing it!”
