He is well-known around Britian as a soloist with choral societies from Inverness to Penzance, specialising in Bach. Alongside his busy performing life, he has developed a considerable reputation as a teacher of singing. His pupils include the choristers of St. John's College, Cambridge, music scholars at Eton College, many of the choral scholars in Cambridge at King's, John's, Trinity, Clare and Gonville and Caius Colleges.

David is Professor of singing at the Royal Academy of Music. His work is widely known around Britain through his many workshops and the Eton Choral Courses where he teaches each summer. In 1994 he became Associate Director of Cambridge University Chamber Choir. He assists Christopher Robinson in training the Oxford Bach Choir and the City of Birmingham Choir. He is also on the teaching staff of the CBSO as assistant to Simon Halsey, with the specific task of teaching singing to the whole chorus. He is regularly asked to work with other choirs including Bournemouth Symphony Chorus, Guildford Philharmonic, Huddersfield Choral Society, BBC Symphony Chorus and Cheltenham Bach Choir.
