Come along for a maritime voyage or a captivating history lesson!

Well known as the Master of Ceremonies of The Christmas Revels, David performs in concert halls, coffeehouses, schools, radio, and museums.

David has performed throughout New England since 1980. His venues range from concert halls and coffeehouses to schools, radio, and museums. He has performed for weddings, birthdays, memorials, festivals, bonfires — you name it. He is equally adept firing up a crowd to sing, or at playing music in the background to create atmosphere (often during the same occasion!) Widely known for his rich baritone voice, his impressive collection of musical instruments includes concertinas, recorders, penny-whistles, bombards (loud Breton double reeds), gemshorns, cornamuse, shawm, rauschphieffe — or, as he explains, “generally anything that requires a lot of hot air.” Many of these instruments are used in his interactive school enrichment program: Music from the King’s Court: Exploring the Early Winds.

Thank you so much for your inspiring and captivating performance for our third grade students yesterday! They were very excited to hear and meet all the members of the recorder family as well as their ancestors.

Enrichment Programs

Many of us are fortunate enough to know first-hand that inspiration elevates teaching to a breathtaking art form. For David Coffin, the specialized niche of musical enrichment programming is a delightful challenge of delivering the lesson under the guise of entertainment. When children join in his electric enthusiasm for his subject by adding their own voices and imaginations, they are astonished to discover how much they have learned — and how fun it is to share in the adventure.

When David captivates, he motivates. And when children sing with him, they learn with him.
