Marilyn L. says, "Dave is very experienced, knowledgeable, kind & patient. I always enjoy my lessons. If you are not understanding something he explains in simple terms & does not push you beyond what you are able to grasp. I always look forward to the next lesson & learning more. He never discourages you, but always encourages you to be a better singer or player in a very constructive manner. He makes learning fun. I would recommend him to any age student." Read more

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

Are piano lessons worth it?

Piano lessons are worth the money and effort invested over time. Playing an instrument can be beneficial for mental health, and cognitive strength. For smaller budgets, book just a few lessons to get the basics down and continue on your own.
