Appointed by the “Cavour” Music High School, he dedicated himself to a didactic project featuring a complementary piano course, having the purpose of preparing the students for the Conservatory entrance exam. In 2018, he has to stop his musical activities for health problems, and starts studying in detail the physiology of body and movements and the interaction between psyche and physical inclinations, first and foremost on himself and hence on students, with the help of disciplines such as Feldenkrais, Psychology, Phenomenology, Mindfulness, Mental Coaching, Kinesiology, Sat Nam Rasayan, Sound therapy, and many other means coming from Japanese, Chinese, Egyptian and Indian traditional medicine. Focusing on the musician’s well-being, continues to gather and integrate information, with the objective of spreading the musical verb among all people and preventing students from hurting themselves, facilitating instead their personal expression.
In 2023 David starts back giving concerts and graduates from Turin Conservatory under the guidance of maestro Claudio Voghera with top marks cum laude and special mention of honour, receives the BISMA 2023 scholarship and starts a collaboration with Unione Musicale in Turin.

Serving Music, he is dedicated as a musician to create an intersubjectively valid and sincere musical fruition and, as teacher and therapist, to sensibilize people to access more of themselves. He holds Music Listening seminars to closen further the listeners to the emotional and descriptive resources that lie deep down in them. The mission is to reset the coincidence between music and well-being through awareness.
