A SPECIAL NOTE FROM DAVE:
Hello! I'm really happy that you're here. I absolutely love working with kids, as I think you'll see in these videos. I also understand how much pressure you are under as an educator in today's school climate, and yet you'd love to be reaching more of your students and exposing them to different avenues of learning through the arts.
That's exactly why I created this site, to give you ultimate flexibility in engaging your students through music at exactly the time when it works best with your schedule.
You are a true hero doing important work! I hope you find these videos to be a convenient and welcome new addition to your teaching, and I'd love to hear from you with any comments, questions, or suggestions.
