Beyond Touring, Dave offers private trumpet lessons for young students and developing players looking to build confidence, strengthen their technique, and grow as musicians. Drawing from years of professional touring and live performance experience, his lessons are tailored to each player's experience and goals, with an emphasis on strong fundamentals, musicality, and the practical skills that come from performing in the real world.
