Dave Skelly recently moved to Pittsburgh from New England with his wife and son. Beginning with the Trombone in 4th grade, Dave has learned to play many instruments and styles of music. He has performed with Orchestras, Choirs, Indie Rock Bands, and Cover Bands, and has a lot of experience performing, writing, and recording music in diverse contexts. Earning first a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education and then a Master's Degree in Jazz Composition from the University of Massachusetts, he then moved to Rhode Island while his wife completed her Pediatric Residency program. He moved to Pittsburgh with his family in June '20 for his wife's Fellowship Program in Pediatric Oncology. His son Caleb played a starring role in his dad's job interview here at Tillotson, and he brings immeasurable joy to Dave's life every day.
