I see music wholistically and have a knack for bringing out the creativity in my students. I also help make learning the basics of technique and theory fun. The most important thing to me is to instill a love for music that I hope will last a lifetime.

40 years of playing. 20 years teaching and I teach to make it fun, exciting and relaxing at the same time. Homework and practice is necessary as well as patience and determination. Dedicating to practice makes perfect! I look at it as passing down a gift I have so others may enjoy it as much as I have. Do what you love ❤️

Mat K. says, "David was clear on the need to work on several areas if I wanted to get deeper into acoustic blues guitar: build repertoire, work on theory and apply it to the fret board, technique, and so forth. He pointed me to resources and talked through terms that confused me. He also let me set the agenda on what we worked on; he also made backing tracks for me to practice along with. He was flexible in terms of scheduling times and just an overall good fellow in that I'm an adult learner and need time to let new things fit into existing knowledge. (I hope to get back with him once my tennis elbow heals!)" Read more

Michael H. says, "Kung Fu Music Lessons has helped to me become a better electric bass guitar player and musician. Jared's Kung Fu Music Lesson curriculum has helped me further my music theory knowledge and understand how the fretboard on a bass guitar neck is laid out. After taking lessons from Jared, for slightly over a year, my bass playing has improved exponentially and I've been able to earn money from playing my bass guitar. Not, to mention understanding the underpinnings of music theory and how to navigate the bass guitar neck has allowed me to tap into new musical ideas and has made playing bass guitar more enjoyable and fun."

Justin is a very fun and patient man when it comes to making the beginning stages of learning guitar interesting. Even though sometimes trying to learn to play guitar felt like it was impossible and frystrating, Justin always had different ways of helping me calm down and showing me some new technique that totally made things easier.
