My favorite part about teaching is teaching beginners. It's so much fun to introduce a brand new instrument to someone and show them all that learning music has to offer. I mainly focus on the basics of music, and music theory in order to give students the tools they need to teach themselves when I'm not around, or if lessons have to discontinue for some reason. Once the basics of music theory have been grasped, it makes learning the technical aspects of the new instrument much faster, and easier. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Students are able to select their own music and share their interests with me. Read More

I approach teaching with an empty canvas. As i ask questions and listen to responses, we begin to paint that canvas until we have the same metaphorical picture. Once this is established we can build more and more from that initial canvas. I take my time to guide my students into a hands on approach to learning. I do NOT force students to do something they are uncomfortable with, and If the issue ever comes up I will urge my student, chaperone or parent the speak up! Read More

Hello! My name is David, I'm Brazilian and I've been playing guitar since I was 11 years old. I am a composer, guitarist, singer and I was a member of Cadillac Dinossauros, a Brazilian rock band for 16 years. During this period I developed an authentic way of playing as well as stage techniques. At the same time, I also taught guitar as an independent teacher for 6 years. Besides Rock, my biggest influences are Soul and Funk music, Jazz and of course, Brazilian music. Read More

I'm passionate about teaching and getting my students excited about learning and progressing with their instrument. I focus on a personalized curriculum, not a "one size fits all" approach. I played guitar professionally for over 10 years in California - writing, performing and touring the original music club circuit from L.A. to Sacramento including dates at the famous Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles and The Fillmore in San Francisco.
