About David Tasgal

Throughout his career, David taught a countless number of students. He developed these books based on his own experiences with teaching. David’s innovative and playful approach to learning difficult instruments made his students beam with a love of music. He composed pieces for his students and loved accompanying them while they played.

In addition to being a teacher and composer of these imaginative method books for beginning string players, David could play an astonishing array of instruments including violin, cello, clarinet, piano, bass and saxophone fluently in a variety of musical genres from chamber music and string quartets to rock, blues, jazz and klezmer.

David’s legacy lives on in these books and their accompaniment audio tracks, from which students across the country continue to find inspiration. We continue to offer the full series of Strings Fun & Easy through this site.

More information about David and his music can be found in this remembrance published in the Recorder (Greenfield, MA).
