2. self accompany if you play an instrument (everyone should at least learn ukelele-so easy!)
3. sing along to a recorded accompaniment...

I met David when I joined the San Francisco Opera Chorus in 1975. His warmth and passion for opera was easily transmitted to me the newcomer. He will be remembered for his generous spirit and kind nature.

David was my voice teacher. He was like none other. He taught me so much about the voice and myself. He encouraged me to listen to my voice. I'll never forget the lessons and will always keep the recorded lessons to go to when I need vocal counseling. My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.
