David Colin Freeman

David is an independent music instructor and producer. Many of his works are created with the developing pianist or musician in mind. Current research topics include jazz theory, transcription, and improvisation, and are meant to explore the fundamentals of tonality in pursuit of the effortless use of musical language. David is a classically trained pianist, and flutist, and can trace his musical lineage to Beethoven, and is an experienced who gives private piano lessons online that emphasize reading, rhythm, technique, ear training, theory, and performance. 

He uses programs such as Logic Pro X, Sibelius 7, Quicktime, Skype, iMovie, Premiere Pro, and Photoshop. His primary instruments are the Komplete Kontrol S88 by Native Instruments, with VST sounds by Vienna Symphonic Library, and his Sankyo flute. He also uses a Yamaha piccolo, Guo tenor flute, and native flutes in his recordings. Other instruments include lever harp, violin, cello and various percussion. Ensembles include flute and harp, flute choir, orchestra, piano solo, and lever harp solo. He lives on the Big Island of Hawaii and writes Hawaiian style slack key music on his lever harp for fun.
