My methods for teaching change with each student, meaning I cater the lesson to your needs. I am not going to teach an adult the same way I teach a child and vice versa. Everyone learns differently and at different speeds so I like to find out how you learn early on so I can tweak my lesson plan accordingly. I also, with certain steps in the lesson plan, like to give the student (depending on the age) options in lesson material because ultimately, you know how you learn best and I want you to get the most out of your lessons.

David has taught several hundred students classical, acoustic and electric guitar over the past 25 years. Teaching environments have included school classrooms, music studios, and privates homes each presenting their own unique challenges. Some students have been very young children without any specific musical goals, while other students have been mature adults wanting to learn specific songs or techniques. Years of experience has lled David to conclude that initial musical goals often evolve over time and a minimal degree of commitment is essential to a positive learning experience. Read More

I believe goals are very important in order to progress. However, each student progresses at their own pace. I like setting small goals weekly, and often times incorporate techniques into songs. Seeing students achieve their goals is one of the most rewarding aspects of the job. I'll ask students to bring pencil and paper to each lesson and will designate technical goals, fretboard knowledge, and whatever the student's goal is (learning a song, another scale, solo part, etc).

I try to create a relaxed, fun, trustworthy and focused, environment for the student. I like to ask them what’s interesting and appealing to them, then we start the lesson. When I teach at my studio and children come directly from school I give them a snack if they haven’t had any. Children cannot concentrate if they are hungry. We play musical games for the younger ones, so they can internalize either the beats or the values of the notation. Read More

Music has been my passion from a very early age. I have learned through my years as an educator that sharing this passion with others is just as rewarding as personal experience or success. I greatly enjoy performing as much as I can myself but helping students achieve their own personal musical goals has become one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. I look forward to meeting new students and learning about their passions and goals so that I can help them find the most rewarding path possible! Read More

I am student-oriented teacher. I would like the student to explain their goals to me and we will work as a team to achieve those goals. This involves choosing the music to be studied. I have plenty of ideas for beginners who want help with choosing books. Then as lessons progress, student goals can be plugged I to instruction, no matter what music they are playing or singing. I encourage students to play for family and friends, and participate in music education events. Read More
