David Singer is an internationally acclaimed clarinetist whose career has included two
performances at the White House and more than 150 appearances in Carnegie Hall.
Joseph Horowitz in The New York Times wrote about David Singer, “To describe his
playing would be to enumerate a catalogue of virtues.”
Mr. Singer’s recording of the Aaron Copland Clarinet Concerto was praised by
Lawrence A. Johnson from Gramophone Magazine in the UK as “one of the finest
accounts around,” and his performances have been featured on the BBC and on Sirius
XM as a principal performer of the Grammy Award-winning Orpheus Chamber
Orchestra, NYC.
Professor Singer taught as a guest teacher at both the Yale and Princeton Schools of
Music as well as at the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern
California, and is Emeritus Professor of Clarinet/Coordinator of Chamber Music at
Montclair State University, NJ. He continues to coach young musicians across Southern
California and performs with the Singer Chamber Players and the Channel Islands
Chamber Orchestra.
His debut memoir, From Cab Driver to Carnegie Hall, chronicles his remarkable journey
of overcoming obstacles and ultimately becoming successful in music and life.
From Cab Driver to Carnegie Hall has just been chosen among many ten’s of
thousands of books to be part of the Los Angeles Public Library collection.
“From Cab Driver to Carnegie Hall shows how effort and perseverance can turn dreams
into reality.” “This book is a testament to inspiration and resilience.” Diana Lopez,

A Courageous Story of a Life in Music - This is an excellent view of an inspired life in
the turgid world of classical music in the late 1960’s – 2000’s. Reading of his struggles
and triumphs to reach the top of his field and survive is stirring. Baron, Five Star
Amazon Review
“An intimate, candid look at the highs and lows of one musician’s artistic pursuit.”
