David Scott has been playing trombone professionally for decades. After having spent almost 20 years in St. Louis, where he taught private lessons and worked as the band director at Lift For Life Academy, Dave has returned to his hometown of Morgantown, WV as a 4th grade teacher at Eastwood Elementary. As a student, David graduated Summa Cum Laude at the University of Missouri at St Louis. As a teacher he won the You Make a Difference Award in the spring of 2024. As a musician he’s played on a variety of stages from jazz festivals in the northeast to the finest venues in St. Louis, to come back home as a dynamic performer and teacher of the instrument he loves. Students will benefit from his perspective that comes from years of experiences in jazz, commercial, and symphonic ensembles.

In lessons with David, students can expect to be given only meaningful and attainable assignments to practice that will strengthen their fundamentals and technique. They can expect to be given clear and precise instruction that will set them on a trajectory towards success, achievement, and a sense of accomplishment. Most importantly, they can expect the passionate teaching and mentorship of an instructor who has earned the love and trust of the students, families, and colleagues in his school communities.
