It's hard to adequately quantify the impact David has had on me creatively since I first took classes with him 6+ years ago. His seemingly endless technical knowledge, passion for the arts, emphasis on community and ability to meet artists exactly where they are is unmatched. He has been the most important influences/mentors in my creative life.

David is the best teacher I can ever ask for. I took piano lesson from him for about 6 years since 2012. He helped me succeed with several recitals and numerous small performances. I am very grateful to be able to take lessons from him.

Gives detailed feedback about exactly what worked, and constructive, practical,feedback about what didn't. Rated him "difficult" because he notices the every subtle detail, and holds the student to working on each. Unfailingly kind, insightful, attentive, patient, and calm. By far the best vocal coach/teacher I've ever had, here or in Europe.

David Mesler is a fantastic piano teacher, especially for beginners such as myself. His musical background and passion are always present in meetings with him. The workload is manageable and the way he structures his course gives you lots of room for reading, playing and even composing your own music which I found very inspiring.

I had taken Music intro class from David Mesner back in 2010. He was one hell of an awesome teacher. He made music history, reading music, harmonizing and sight reading an exciting adventure to look forward to every class session. I hope He still is the same now, 12years later.

David Mesler is an inspirational, student-centered teacher who designs instruction around the students interests and capabilities. His instructions are varied including piano exercises to advance one's skill on the keyboard. I so appreciate his wisdom and explanation of music theory as he explains chords and composition.

If you want to be a singer, TAKE THIS CLASS. David is a vocal technician who knows what he is talking about. Every week he listens to you sing and gives a great amount of notes, it is like a quick private lesson despite it being a group class. The other kids in the class took his notes and my god they sounded WAY better. And he is SOOOOO NICE!

I couldn't find the specific classes from the drop down menu, but I took him for Individual Piano Instruction MUSC 171 and Individual Voice Instruction MUSC 130. As an artist I've grown tremendously and can't recommend David highly enough. He demonstrates that effective teaching isn't just a career, but a skill.

One of the aspects that I love about Seattle Central is that it has shocked me for having such amazing professors at a community college that many view as "nothing better than third-rate". David is no exception. This man is one of the greatest and most inspiring people I have ever met in my entire life, and I am forever grateful to him.

Yes, yes, yes to David! He is such an amazing teacher! I've taken piano, singing (group and individual), and performance experience with him. When I first started, I had stage fright so bad, that I had debilitating shaking. He never judged me, only gave me 100% support. He knows his stuff, he listens, and he's compassionate. He's worth it!

I love learning with him. Every week, you get chances to perform required and extra credit piano songs. Also, there are weekly Zoom meetings and quizzes. They are not hard to handle so you can get beautiful grades by working your best. Professor warmly listens to you and gives you detailed and supportive feedbacks on every of your performances.

His lectures are super informative and applicable for beginners. He doesn't go so fast so you won't worry about not being able to keep up with the class. He listens to every students matters and answer all the questions. There are performances every week and he gives encouraging and good feedbacks on students' performances. Love to learn with him.
