The Mission
As a life-long music educator, I am dedicated to providing exceptional
instrumental lessons online. With 30 years of experience and convenience in mind,
I cater primarily to young learners and their parents seeking
quality piano, drumset, or guitar instruction at home.
Hello, my name is David Dion and I have been teaching music since 1996. A high school band and orchestra director for 20 years, adjunct faculty at 2 universities for 15 years, and elementary school instrumental music teacher for 10 years, my experience is extensive.
I am amazed how often the piano, guitar, and drumset are ignored by most school systems - for many students, these are EXACTLY the instruments that interest them most!
My specialty is teaching private piano, drums, and guitar lessons to young & beginning musicians as well as teaching music theory, composition, and jazz improvisation to teens and adults.
Philosophy
My teaching philosophy is to meet students where they are and focus on the music that is meaningful to them. While there are many texts that I use regularly, students that pursue their own individual musical interests and tastes are infinitely more motivated and more likely to see rapid, satisfying improvement.
While most instruments are taught best in person, online piano, guitar, and drumset lessons are unique in that technology allows for a better overview of technique and more comfortable and effective lessons for students on their own instrument in their own home.
Above all - I am patient, kind, positive, and understanding. Playing music should be FUN! I am eager to speak with you about your student's musical interests and goals and planning lessons that cater to these.

What our parents say
“Our homeschool student has been participating in remote piano instruction with David for nearly 2 years now, and continues to look forward to her lesson every week! He is always encouraging and very good at engaging and maintaining interest and motivation. He listens to the student and adjusts the lessons according to her level of progress and preferences in musical genre. She has progressed from being a complete beginner to truly enjoying playing increasingly complex, impressive pieces. We couldn’t be happier with his instruction! ” Gaby D., parent
