Find the voice you didn't know you had
David teaches healthy, expressive singing built on the bel canto tradition and the breath — appoggio — shaped by decades on the opera and cantorial stage. Lessons in Jerusalem, Petah Tikva or online, for every age and level.
Voice & technique
Classical and popular singing built on bel canto and appoggio breath support — the same technique David still studies today with Cantor Avshalom Zfira.
Hazzanut & nusach
For cantors and ba'alei tefillah: nusach, cantorial repertoire, and the expression that makes prayer land — from a teacher who has spent his life inside it.
Musicianship
Piano, music theory, jazz harmony and songwriting, for the singer who wants to understand what they are singing, not only how.
Every age, every level
David has taught students from five to ninety. Beginners are welcome and ambition is encouraged — with one student, he says, 'we declared that he would be world famous.'
One of my first rules as a teacher: always start with a positive.

How David teaches
Grounded in the bel canto tradition he still studies today, and shaped by a lifetime of formal music education — two degrees' worth.
- Start with the breath — appoggio, the support that frees the voice.
- Build healthy technique before repertoire, so nothing is forced.
- Meet the student where they are — five years old or ninety, beginner or professional.
- Sparkle the music: intention, imagination, and a reason behind every phrase.
