Dave Long Email & Phone Number

Freelance ServicesI'm currently offering freelance services in a few different areas. I've been teaching piano lessons in person and online through my independent piano studio Dave Long Music since 2020. Since 2023, I've also started offering services related to computer programming and building web sites such as web development, web design, content generation, and writing.Background in Programming & WebsitesI've had an interest in computers and the internet since I was young. When I began my piano studio in 2020, the first thing I did was make a web site. Working with this site and building a small business from scratch by developing a presence on the internet eventually dovetailed with my interest in web development.Since the fall of 2022, I've been seriously studying web development and computer programming. I began learning to program with python. I next branched out into HTML, CSS, and Javascript, mostly focusing on front-end development. I've since explored a number of other languages including Go, C, PHP, and Lua. I'm also familiar with some web development frameworks such as Hugo and Astro. I'm most comfortable at this point working with Python and Javascript, along with HTML and CSS, although I'm always eager to learn new programming skills, languages, and frameworks.For more information on my work and background with programming and web sites, please visit davelongwebstudio.com or davelongdev.com.Background in Music & EducationI’ve always had an interest in music. I began to study music as a child, and I'm still learning, teaching, and playing music today. I have learned to play piano, guitar, saxophone, trumpet, drum set, and percussion. Since around, 2010 I have been focusing my musical pursuits on classical and jazz piano.I'm fortunate to have had the chance to study with world-class pianist and teacher Seymour Bernstein in New York City. I have been studying with Seymour for about 10 years now. I have learned so much from him about piano technique, the classical repertoire, interpreting written music, and piano playing in general. It’s always gratifying to pass along what I’ve learned from Seymour and my other teachers.Law Practice and other Work ExperienceIn 2005, I went to law school. I graduated from St. John's with dean's list honors and was a member of the law review. After graduating, I practiced law for a few years before deciding to pursue other interests.InterestsHiking, photography, reading, writing, and spending time with my two dogs Luke and Zoey.
