Introduction
Hello! Let’s get your voice to the next level and beyond. I've worked with countless singers over the past 14 years. Whether they’re a touring artist, budding star, high school student preparing for a vocal audition, singing to oneself in the car, to prepping for karaoke, overcoming stage fear, songwriting, etc. I’ve seen it all and guarantee you will improve your voice. A graduate of SFSU, with extensive experience and knowledge of vocal pedagogy, I’ve taken music in my own career to helping others achieve their dreams at the same time. There are a lot of factors that go into singing and everyone is unique, so finding a coach that will not only help your voice but motivate you, but put a specific course of action is what spurs the best outcome. Once the singers’ technique and range are decent, we continue to refine and eliminate bad habits, and begin to work on performance and record in the studio more and more. Every person has unique needs and goals so each session is tailored. I am very active in the music industry, performing, touring, recording, etc. It is best when receiving instruction from someone who actively does what they teach. I have been fortunate enough to get many songs on TV and have produced theme songs for different network shows. I currently have students competing on the voice, getting leads in local musical theater, to releasing their own albums on Spotify, etc and touring. I always ask, "If you had everything you wanted out of your voice, what would you do with that?" Let's get you to the next level:) There is nothing more satisfying than giving to others. When you see vocal breakthroughs on a daily basis, it can even be hard to not get a little teary eyed! I genuinely love seeing my singers improve and knock down barriers. As far as I am concerned, we are in this together and you WILL improve.

This Saturday was only my second lesson with David, but I can already tell that I am in for a very big positive and rewarding change in my voice and how I conduct myself when I’m singing in front of a crowd. Been singing for a while now since high school, been singing for the past few years at our church, but never had a one-on-one vocal coach, always with a group with my music teachers in middle and high-schools. Wow! with just 2 lessons with David, I have heard and learned so much that I never even knew before. He was able to spot my weaknesses right away and shown me why I have difficulties singing some of the notes – things that no one had ever explained to me, he just did. David knows his stuff whatever style of singing or type of songs you want to do, he can help you a great deal to improve or perfect your skills. He is super nice and made me feel so comfortable instantly from our very first meeting. If you are looking for an experienced, with so much expertise in this field, I highly recommend David.

I had no prior singing experience before meeting David. I couldn't even remotely find the pitch or key that was being played in a song with my voice when trying to match it. After two months of one on ones for an hour every week, I've seen massive gains and improvements. Not just in my confidence, but in my ability to match pitch, widen my range and become a more flexible singer overall. A big part of success is practicing on your own after the lessons, however, David really does do a great job of zoning in on your weaknesses and helping you through them step by step. I highly recommend him for any singing lessons you're interested in pursuing. I know I'll continue to go to him for all of my vocal needs. Keep up the great work David! -T

I have gone through vocal coaches Like toilet paper, due to the fact they really don't have the proper education and music background. David does not stick to one style of singing and that's all you learn. He is very diversified with many singing styles. Example you want to sing pop music. He will teach you all the techniques of different styles of singing to help you be a well rounded singer. Yes he will let you sing what you want, but his vocal warm up techniques are very unique and effective. I have had 4 lessons so far and from the 1st lesson to my most recent, my singing is like day and night. He is the best, most knowledgeable coach I have ever had. This review is coming from an advanced singer, so I know what I'm talking about!

David is probably one of the best vocal coach in Sacramento. He's been working with my sister for a while and I just recently started. He's great at making you feel comfortable singing. David definitely makes the singing lessons a lot of fun. I definitely suggest making an appointment with him.

David is AMAZING!! I have worked with a few really great vocal coaches over the last year and a half and I have to say that David really brings out something in me that I didn't know I had. I started out very shy and from my first lesson with him he had me doing things I had never done before and more importantly feeling more confident about myself and my voice. You can tell he cares about his students on so many levels and truly gives everything he has to help you get better. He makes me feel so comfortable even when I am uncomfortable, and that was exactly what I needed! ;) In a very short amount of time, I have gone from being so embarrassed to sing in front of anyone I would only practice in my car, to singing and dancing on stage in front of 100+ people. I would recommend David to anybody from a shy beginner like me to the most experienced singer...this guy definitely knows what he is talking about! I am blessed to have found him.
