About 6 years ago I purchased "the professional chord system" shortly after that I had the opportunity in speaking with. Mr. Higginson about the course as he answered my questions. Unfortunately I never finished it. I recently started it all over again and have made tremendous improvement which would have made Mr Higginson proud. I will continue and let you know my progress. I only lost a teacher and you lost a great role model , father, and husband. He is Always in my thoughts while on my piano. Respectfully ,

Mr Higginson was the best music teacher I ever had. He did more to build me up, as well as all in the class at the Springville Middle School. I felt badly when he moved out of Springville in the mid 70's, but was happy to learn he was back in Springville. However, I wish I'd have run into him over the years to get a chance to say "Thanks." So, to you in his family, I say "Thanks." What a blessing it was to have known Mr. Higginson.

I feel honored to have known David Higginson during my youth, and will always remember him for his ability to help all those around him experience joy. Music is and always will be an important part of my life, in most part because he took the time to help me see that it is more than just notes on a page, but an expression of the heart. I hope the Higginson family will be comforted at this time, and know that his influence on a young girl's heart changed her life for the better.

I am so saddened to hear of David's passing. He was truly an inspiration to me. He was a huge influence in helping me and keeping me in music.
I was a part of his Lowell Scott choirs in the seventies and I am a full time musician today.
He was always willing to share and help everyone, reaching them through music.
I know he will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy to all of the family.

Our sympathies to all of David's large, loving family on his departure from your mortal experience.
He certainly was an up-beat, talented man who helped us have a great learning experience in the music business--years ago.

I grew up in Meridian, Idaho and was so blessed that "Mr. Higginson" was my choir teacher at Lowell Scott Jr. High. I was devastated when that ended up being his final year of teaching choir (1979 there. I had found my love of singing all because of Mr. Higginson.
I too am a member of the church, so we loved that as well about him - he could relate to so few of us who were LDS and we felt a little less alone in those days where members were only about 20% of the school.
32 years later, I still have such wonderful memories of a delightfully funny, loving, gifted, and always smiling man!
He teasingly called me "Webbie Deber" which gave me a boost and made me feel special. I'm sure he did that to all of his students. He touched 1000's of lives and my life has been forever blessed because of him!
I am so sorry for your heartache, but wanted you to know of one little jr. high girl that never forgot Mr. Higginson and all that he taught me.
His life is one that made a huge difference and I will forever be grateful!

A legacy to remember. My brother, David, was my orchestra teacher in Nampa, Idaho. I believe this ws his first teaching experience with teaching orchestra. He was instramental in helping me try out and get into the Idaho All State Orchestra in my sophomore year, playing string bass.
He was always willing to help others with whatever they needed help with.
David was instramental with encourageing my son, Jeffrey, and me to become piano tuners. He always listened to our successes and experiences.
David will be missed. Love, Tim

I became acquainted with Dave when I had an interest in his methods of playing music. Dave was a unique person who valued people above all else and spent much of his time making sure those around him had their needs taken care of. I was saddened to hear of his passing and he and his family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
