Dave has recently returned home to Charlottesville, Virginia to raise a family after living and performing for several years in South America and the San Francisco Bay Area, where he taught Music Together^®. "Music has always been a transformative experience for me and has lead me through many life changes. When my wife and I began to talk about having a child, Music Together presented itself and has been a wonderful introduction into parenthood for us. To be able to share music with other families as we grow our own has been such a gift." Dave is an accomplished bassist, guitarist and composer currently involved in musical projects with an expanding network of musicians in Virginia, California, and Peru. Dave is a registered Music Together teacher.
