Liz A. says, "Dave is so kind and patient. I came to him to prepare for a vocal audition and he helped me thru all of it, from choosing the right pieces to audition etiquette, and of course singing technique! He was even able to help me work on a monologue that went with my song. So helpful- I felt really prepared and the tools he gave me continue to help my practice. So lucky to have him as a teacher!!"

You may not know this - or haven't noticed this - but, two people can pick up the exact same guitar and strum the same chord and sound differently. My philosophy with music instruction is to focus on quality of the notes you play, not the quantity. Everyone wants to be able to shred, but chances are your favorite songs are not your favorites because of a face melting solo. Your ability to play the guitar will only ever be limited by your muscle memory and ability to apply music theory. I'll customize a plan to get you hearing results quickly. The best way to stay motivated in learning is being able to hear your progress. I hold that abo

You may not know this - or never stopped to think about it - but two people can pick up the same exact guitar, plug it into the exact same amp, strum the same chord, but achieve different results. Additionally, a person who has never played an instrument and has zero understanding of music theory can't tell you how to play their favorite song, but chances are they can tell if you're playing it wrong. These concepts are why music is the universal language. In the first scenario: no two people will ever have identical voices and use identical vocabulary. In the second: even if a person doesn't understand the language you're speaking they...
