As an advanced musician, concert piano tuner for the South Bend Symphony, and a music Pastor, I can say that we have appreciated the music instruction that we have received from David Detrick. He has done a wonderful job teaching and motivating members of my family over many years. I have seen him take several of them from the very beginning as pianists and they have advanced to a point where they are playing advanced music within just a few years of lessons. In addition to teaching piano, he also teaches brass. I have hired him to teach our church orchestra for the last two years. I have been very impressed, as he is not only capable in teaching the technical aspects of music, but also is gifted in helping the students to play expressively and with beautiful tone quality. I am thankful for the impact he has had on my family and church’s ability to minister more effectively through music. Parents of the church orchestra students have been very encouraged at the progress their children have made as a result of his weekly tutelage. I highly recommend him as a teacher.
