/// ABOUT ME
Hello, I'm Dave, I'm a composer and teacher. I make YouTube videos that give the advice I wish I had when I was first starting out writing music. I also post score videos and performances of my music. I love collaborating and creating music. I love helping younger composers find their voice and I've been fortunate to have taught for several years. Reach out any time I can be helpful, I'd be thrilled to hear from you. Cheers, -Dave
