About David
I have a private piano teaching practice and my students are very successful, as I share my vast knowledge of music and my experience as a performing musician with them. As a professional pianist, I have performed in a variety of settings, from performances with symphony orchestras to playing with musicians in chamber music performances, solo piano concerts and I have performed for musical theater throughout British Columbia. I am currently playing professionally with a jazz saxophonist around the Okanagan, performing jazz, blues, rock, pop, country and Latin styles of music. I also accompany many instrumentalists who partake in music festivals and also work with professional players.

I focus on teaching the fundamental techniques of piano playing to help students play with ease and proficiency (proper use of arm weight, finger control, and knowledge of piano physiology). I focus on achieving a keen understanding of musical expressiveness and how it relates to all styles/genres of music. I teach beginners to advanced level players, and make piano playing an enjoyable experience for everyone. Many of my private students have achieved 90% or higher on their Royal Conservatory exams. I also enter several of my students into Music Festivals and encourage public performances.

We highly recommend David Sproule as a piano instructor. He was patient and encouraging with our teenage daughter, and she made great progress under his guidance. We were particularly impressed by how he worked on putting the right feeling into the pieces. His great passion for music was infectious! We were lucky to find him!

Kelowna, BCWe have known David for several years now, and we must say that his passion for music and love for his students has never faltered. He is a great teacher, patient and knowledgeable both in classical and jazz piano music. David understands what his students need; however, he encourages them to go beyond their level, he challenges them if needed. He gladly shares his musical experiences, which helps us see the big picture of what preparing for this career means. We also appreciate that he is a very talented and hard-working accompanist for both my kids, one a string and the other a brass player, with many musical projects under their belts. I gladly recommend David as a piano teacher; he has a good heart and he will always teach you more than just music!
David is a very gifted musician but also an excellent teacher. David is kind, friendly and patient with my 12 year old son Julian who recently started piano (a year an a half ago) helping him progress at the right pace without any pressure but support (Julian is preparing to write his level 4 RCM exam in few months). The piano lessons are very well structured with a right balance of technique, but also theory, musicality, effective practicing, and building repertoire. He is very punctual and has an accommodating schedule.
Also worth mentioning is that David is an amazing accompanist for my son's violin exams, his presence during the exams has helped Julian stay calm and perform at his best.
I would highly recommend him as a piano teacher.
Vlad CucinschiI have had David as a piano teacher. He makes the lessons enjoyable, bringing his considerable teaching and piano skills to every lesson.
As a relatively advanced student, I benefited from his ability to bring out multiple aspects of a piece of music to transform it from something ordinary to new heights of musicality.
His approachability would be a good fit for both beginners and all levels of student.View more recommendations
