Music is for everyone!
Every month, a hand-assembled envelope arrives in your mailbox — packed with stories, music, and a collectible card featuring one instrument from Mr. David's collection of 300+. It's like getting a letter from your favorite music teacher.
Every month
A letter from Mr. David telling the story behind the instrument — who invented it, who made it famous, and why it matters. Written like a friend sharing something cool they discovered.
A numbered card with a photo of the real instrument from Mr. David's collection, quick facts on the back, and a QR code that opens this month's YouTube playlist.
A YouTube playlist featuring the best music for the month's instrument, expert demos, and short lessons from Mr. David on how it works, how it sounds, and why he loves it.
Something fun and different every month — a sticker, bookmark, mini print, listening log, or another music-themed surprise.

Your guide
Mr. David is a music teacher and multi-instrumentalist in North Carolina who believes that music is for everybody. He teaches guitar, bass, ukulele, mandolin, drums, trombone, trumpet, and synthesizers — and runs an Instrument Explorer series where you can get your hands on instruments from all over the world.
He also records music under the name Reckless Martin and co-founded Bullseye Music, a Durham shop for used gear. His studio recitals are a whole thing — his students have covered Radiohead's OK Computer, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, and Bowie's Ziggy Stardust front to back.
His favorite thing is being the first person to put a weird instrument in someone's hands or play them a record that changes everything. That's basically what this mail club is.
"David's knowledge and understanding of music is electrifying. He brings the community together with his love for music."
"He has this magic closet... I just know it is a portal to an infinity space with a 'just so' hook or shelf for instruments from every corner of the world. He's fun, and a crazy talented teacher."
"His studio is an emporium full of acoustic and electric instruments from all over and his students' recitals are legendary. He is the Piper of Rockwood Park!"
"He is the most fun and patient teacher you will ever encounter with the most infectious love for music. He's got something for everyone."
"You know when you see someone who has found their bliss and this is definitely true of Mr. David. His commitment to every student and every lesson is without question."
"David was born to teach music. His passion and enthusiasm for teaching kids music is unrivaled. Now they have a passion for music that is astounding. And it's all because of David."
