About

My name is David. I've been teaching guitar and piano for over twenty years now. I'm classically trained in both with years spent studying with Douglas Niedt, Karen Kushner, and Christopher Madden, at the University of Missouri, Kansas City Conservatory. I've also studied jazz guitar with Jay EuDaly, Danny Embrey, and Stanton Kessler. I specialize in dealing with students for whom previous approaches to their instruments have yielded little to no progress but I also teach beginning, intermediate, and advanced students of all ages and from all backgrounds. My approach is laid back but I stress excellence with everything I do. Students learn their instrument in the context of real music and real musical understanding, not exercises or rote repetition. I have two studio locations: my home studio in Raytown, MO fifteen minutes from anywhere in the KC metro area, and my away studio in Blue Springs off the I-70 Highway.

    David has been teaching my son guitar for 2+ years. What impressed me most was, from the very beginning, he was playing real songs that he wanted to learn. Thanks to David’s lessons, my son is excited and motivated to continue growing as a musician.

    Very impressed with Davids piano teaching ability. Arthur has been inspired! I really like the way David paints a picture in his descriptions of how to improve a players performance. For example, Your hands should be like dancers who know their routines, and are independent of one another. Plus he backs this up with practice and repetition until it sinks in. Essentially, whats so great about David is that the finer details of being an outstanding pianist are fully addressed in a positive way, and I feel confident that Arthur will emerge from his chrysalis as a more fluent, happy, and improved performer. Arthur has learned so much in so few lessons. Thank you!
