Welcome to my website! My name is David Cronkite and I have been teaching and playing drum set, percussion, and piano for over 45 years. I am from Truro, Nova Scotia and I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with my students. I am proud to say that both of my children are also involved in the arts - Ana is an operations manager for Sandbox film company and Max has a Master's in ancient and medieval history and plays bass. Contact me to schedule a free lesson today!
