Summer is here

Hi,summer is here, I have been rehearsing my duo which includes Chris Neilsen on  keyboards, sax and trumpet. We have added a few wedding dance tunes and we’re ready to go. I played a 58th birthday at the mount in September, see the review in the praise section.

School is winding up soon and I have a big Vienna instrument order arriving mid December. Stock at the moment includes 8 alto and 4 tenor saxs, 6 trumpets and 2 clarinets. Email or txt me (021 254 7758) now for priority service so your organised for the new year.

Tuition has been flat out, parents tell me they’re pleased their child is learning an instrument and giving the computer games a rest and some of them will be ready for the annual christmas carol busking down at St Heliers, come and listen you’re sure to be impressed.

Professional studio for hire

Some parents have asked for their children to have some recording experience, so I have invested in a soundproof chamber from a tv voiceover studio.

You can play your heart out with no concern for my neighbours and get a professional demo to share with family and friends. I’m also looking at video so you can post on youtube.

My recording rates will be a very reasonable $60hr so this is a general callout to anyone looking to progress their talent.

Regards, David

Hi, just a quick update to say i will be adding some more audio soundbites from upcoming gigs,concert in the church. These will be easy listening jazz and the corporate and birthday gigs will be party high energy.

Thanks to all enquiries about tuition, mostly one on one  which suits me; most of the last order was presold so sorry i havent been able to stock up the store. I have some red, blue and gold altos and 4 tenors left. For some reason the tenors are slow movers this year, pity as in most of my live work I use tenors, they’re more versatile for church and restaurant work.

A final word to a fellow tutor I worked with for 3 years passed away on the weekend, Stephen, you worked your heart out 24/7 doing what you loved, you will be missed.

Recording studio up and running

Good news, my recording studio is up and running. Several  of my students and their parents were delighted with their first taste of the recording experience. I purchased the whisper room soundproof chamber from a voice over tv studio in Parnell. It’s a lot of fun as you can play your heart out with not a care for the neighbours.

If you have a project you want to finish on a cd give me a call or email.

Brush up course for the holidays

I realise that i’m leaving it a bit late, but i’m offering a catchup course in the holidays to some of my school students who have missed lessons or are finding it difficult getting started in clarinet, flute, recorder, sax or trumpet.

The first term is important for grounding some technique and understanding of music theory so this is an opportunity for parents who feel it could help their children.

1 hour Sat and Sunday at my studio $30 group lesson, 2 weeks only!

This is also an invitation also to other tutors to enquire if some of their students could benefit.

To book your space please call me on my mobile 021 254 7758 or email me sales@davidspillane.com

In concluding many thanks to all new watchers checking out my new website, so far I have had good feedback and we are presently adding more info on Vienna instruments our online store is up and running so you can buy online now.

Regards

David
