David Paul Picture
Hi.  Thank you for taking the time to visit.  My name is David Paul.  I’ve been playing violin since I was 8 years old and piano since I was 6.  I grew up in a pretty organized household, so I practiced early in the morning before going off to school for many years.  My love for music grew gradually, and when faced with a career choice as a sophomore in college, I remember making a deal with myself.  "I will pursue my desire to play in a symphony full time until I am 30.  If it doesn’t happen by then, I’ll be practical."  After a rather tough time in graduate school, practicing somewhere between 4-6 hours a day, I won a national audition at 25 and played full time with the Jacksonville Symphony for 7 years.  A strong interest in Tai’ Chi Gung really ignited my creative side, and I left the symphony and struck out on my own.  Now, in addition to playing professionally and presenting concerts of original music, I have a group of private violin and piano students.  I began a pre-school music program about 10 years ago, and I’ve really grown to enjoy it very much.  I love to see young children learn to sing, grow confidence in what they’re doing and overcome their fear of being creative.  I continue to compose and arrange music.  I work quite a bit out of my studio, so I’m still studying and practicing myself.  I hope you enjoy looking through this site.  You can hear some of my original work on the CD link when you click to the right.  You can view a video clip of a group pre-school class when you click to the left, or take yourself through the Making Music Fun and Easy steps and learn how to sing! :-)  I do accept commissions for original work.  I’m comfortable performing and composing in classical, jazz, pop, Celtic and new age styles.  Much of what I do as a professional musician and teacher grows out of what I have learned about health from practicing Tai’ Chi Gung and it has helped me so much over the past 20 years, I also teach Tai’ Chi Gung classes. I recommend it very highly.  And it probably won't surprise you to find that I've investigated nutrition over the years of doing Tai' Chi Gung.  If you have any questions or comments about the site, or anything you find here, I’d enjoy hearing from you very much.  Feel free to call me if you like, 904-294-7219, or send me an email: support@musicbydavidpaul.com Best regards,  David Paul
