We bought an acoustic guitar for our sons’s 13th birthday and started him on lessons with Dave. Dave has been a great teacher. Very patient and good with kids. He builds up their confidence and has a good building block approach to learning. It has now been almost a year and our son now just got an electric guitar and it is a joy to hear guitar riffs emanating from his bedroom. It is hard to believe the progress he has made in a year.

David is an outstanding musician and teacher and I am so fortunate to have him teaching me guitar. My lessons are personalized to keep my playing fun while still challenging. It is evident that a lot of time and consideration, on his part, goes into this planning. He is very patient and always encouraging. David is very perceptive to my strengths and weaknesses and his input continually helps me in developing my skills. I look forward to every lesson and am very happy with my progress.

I found David to be professional, personable and a patient teacher. He took the time to unmystify the guitar fretboard and was systematic in the lesson plans we worked on. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him as a solid choice for someone seeking a valuable guitar teacher.

I have appreciated Dave's expertise, and diligence in diagnosing areas for improvement. As a beginning student of classical guitar I have plenty. I also appreciate that his depth of knowledge, and skill as a teacher. These allow him to assign specific pieces designed to facilitate acquiring next-level skills. Finally, Dave is very responsive not only during lessons, but in responding to emails between sessions.
