David began formal training at age 5. He was fortunate enough to have in the neighborhood Marjorie Gloyd, active leader in the National Federation of Music Clubs. The 13 years under her tutelage included master classes and private sessions with various performing professionals, such as Eugene Istomin, presider of International Piano Competition, UMD, and her son Russell Gloyd conductor/arranger/producer of Dave Brubeck Orchestra/Quartet and Vince Guaraldi group.

David studied jazz as a child, with various instructors recommended by Mrs. Gloyd, but his chops began to take on a personality of their own when he served as the pianist for the now internationally famous "Boilermakers," based out of Pittsburgh, PA. Under the leadership of Jay and Paul Cosentino, this New Orleans Jazz Band played in various places in the Pittsburgh area for the 18 months David was with them. After moving to Savannah, David has continued to be an active jazz pianist, and has produced ten CD's of his own jazz arrangements for Manion Music.
