David Darling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Darling (born March 3, 1941) is a cellist and composer. Born in Elkhart, Indiana, Darling began studying cello at 10 and continued on to earn bachelor's and master's degrees in music education from Indiana University.

In 1986 Darling joined Young Audiences, Inc., an organization that seeks to educate children about music and the arts through in-school programs. In the same year, he founded Music for People, which seeks to encourage self-expression through musical improvisation. In 2000 he recorded an unusual collaboration with the Wulu Bunun, a group of Taiwanese aborigines.

Darling's performance and composition draw on a wide range of styles, including classical, jazz, Brazilian, African, and Indian musics. He currently lives in Goshen, Connecticut where he continues his active composing, teaching, and performing career. In addition to his work as a solo and collaborative musician, he has written and performed music for more than a dozen major motion pictures.

Darling is a tremendously gifted teacher of music improvisation and is a passionate believer in the ability of every human to learn to express themselves musically. He co-founded Music for People, an organization which runs "music for everyone" workshops that are inspiring everyone from musical novices to professionals. All musical styles are honored, from Bach to boogie woogie.

In May of 2008, he became part of a collaboration of music teachers, healers, and performers offering a unique training program in holistic and intercultural approaches to healing with sound and music at the New York Open Center Sound and Music School.
