David’s book Wholehearted Voice Pedagogy (Routledge, 2025) received a rave review from Besfort Williams, as published in the AOTOS (Association of Teachers of Singing) Journal. He writes:

“Wholehearted Voice Pedagogy is an essential read for all who work with singers. It is a well-written, well-organised and well-sourced exploration of the ‘other’ sides of teaching: the running of our studio, the relationship between student and teacher and the development of artistry in the singers we work with… While many pedagogical texts address matters beyond voice training itself, Wholehearted Voice Pedagogy is a concise, clear, and thought-provoking deep dive into these elements. It is a book that belongs on the shelf of any singing teacher who understands that the “how” of teaching is just as important—if not more important—than what we teach.”
