Instruments: Guitar
David does not use a "cookie-cutter" method because each and every student has different innate abilities as well as different musical goals. A teaching method must consider the student's time outside of his or her lesson to be effective. David listens to each student with great care to devise a plan which promotes musicality through inspiration. Conveying large amounts of information, even of the highest quality, is of little value if the student is not motivated to use what he or she has learned to create music. Read More

My philosophy lies in structure - such as teaching in appropriate amounts that are challenging, but not overwhelming. I will always ask students what they're interested in learning and work that into the lesson. But the main focus for beginners is to be comfortable with the fretboard and to have fun. I break lessons down into technique, theory, and whatever the student is particularly wanting to learn. I particularly like to pull from the Berklee Press or Musician's Institute books, as they are well received. Read More

My guitar, bass guitar, mandolin, and drum students will start in the Hal Leonard's books as well if they are unsure of a specific genre or style they wish to play. If they already know what genre they'd like to specialize in, they will be given a curated coursework to help them build the skills they need to master whatever they wish to Jam out on! My piano students work through the Faber Piano Adventure series and the classic Dozen-a-Day books until they are ready for more intermediate works and etude books. Read More

I am 31 years old and have been playing music since 14 years old. I play and teach guitar, bass guitar, piano, violin, cello and singing. Music is life. I've recorded more than 20 albums, and performed in many different places. I have been a teacher of kids and adults for more than 10 years in schools and in music institutes, and now I have plans of recording new material. Read More

While I aim to help students become their best, I ultimately want them to have fun above all else. I believe progress looks different for everyone, and I am very patient and happy to go over something more than once. Learning an instrument is more of a marathon than a sprint in my eyes, and I hope to guide each student on their own musical path. Lessons can range anywhere from simply learning about the instrument itself, going over foundational music theory(notes,chords,scales,intervals, and so on), learning site reading and tablature and the benefits of both.

Im a passionate and motivated musician and music instructor who loves sharing his knowledge and love for music. Born in a family of amateur musicians, I grew up playing several instruments, and developed fluency in the language of music at an early age. At the age of 15 I was already an accomplished guitar instructor who taught music to students of all ages. I hold college degrees of Digital Sound Design, Recording Engineering and Recording Arts; and Ive had the opportunity to work along side of Juan Luis Guerra, Luis Fonsi, Olga Taon, and many other successful artists of the Latin Music Industry.

Due to my experience working with multiple grade/age levels, I have learned to carefully fine tune my teaching strategy for each individual student that I work with. At the beginner level I typically work from method books to ensure a solid development of performance fundamentals. I also like to spend a good bit of time establishing successful warm-up and practice routines. With intermediate level students I continue with more challenging method books as well as standard musical excerpts and etudes. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When people started telling me that's what I should do.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I decided by seeing other musicians play and them told me ?"Its not that hard, you just have to DO it (practice occasionally at your leisure)
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Brown Sugar, by the Rolling Stones, because it has such a unique sound (being in G tuning and utilizing special chording and embellishments to the chords), and it is such a rousing song, that it transforms the audience form lackluster to being lively and dancing.
Although the original recorded words were offensive, I change those words a bit, so the song is not offensive, as do the Rolling Stones themselves, when they play in concert.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1. Always keep your instrument HANDY (ex. on a music stand, where you can reach over and pick it up often) - not in a case, and put away.
2. Go slow, and increase speed as is comfortable for you.
3. No need to keep to a strict schedule for prctice. just do it now & then, when it suits you. You'll feel better about it that way, and your prctices will be more like fun than work.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Ordinarily age 10 (although some have done well at younger ages). Kids learn to read and write as early as age 6 or 7, so some kids would be good for starting lessons even that young.
When will I start to see results?
After the very FIRST lesson. (ex. with the guitar, just 3 simple chords will allow you to play literally hundreds of songs and tunes) Same with the mandolin. Even with the violin you could walk away after just 1 hour, already able to play a simple, short tune melody.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was inspired by a guitar player, who was a friend, and who played on stage. I got my first lessons from him.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
No special reason. I play 3 instruments (guitar, violin/fiddle, and mandolin) all in equal amounts. I love all 3, and neither is primary to the other.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Classic rock on the solid body electric guitar (Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, the Cream, Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young)
On the violin - popular songs like the Christmas songs Joy to the World, Deck the Halls, Silent Night, Jingle Bells, New Years Eve song (Auld Lang Syne), Summertime, America the Beautiful, You Are My Sunshine, Beethoven's 9th Symphony, Santa Lucia, O Sole Mio, Never on Sunday, etc
European fiddle tunes (bordering on classical violin) - I like the melodies, and general tone of the tunes. American fiddle tunes are good too, but they aren't as complex and musical as the European tunes, which are similar to classical music.
These tunes were all originally dance music, but they have been modified slightly (jazzed up), to make them more as listening music, and I teach students how to do this themselves, for any tune they may play.
I also like Bluegrass mandolin, and rock music on the guitar. I like them all very much.
Bluegrass - a combination of Country, Folk, and Jazz.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Being good music listener.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Bowing on the violin/fiddle.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I do have a book that I refer to for my mandolin lessons. It is very instructive, and especially for movable chords.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Best thing is to just pick up the instrument at random times when you feel like it, and play with it. This is fun and becomes very useful practice as well.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Playing the baroque piece, Rights of Man (in E minor) on the violin
Also, playing the Rolling Stones song Brown Sugar, in open G tuning, on the guitar (either acoustic or electric)

My coworker and I would like to inquire about beginner guitar lessons. I just purchased a guitar and she is in the market for a used one. Please feel free to call. Thanks!
Monica
My daughter is almost 14 years old and she is currently taking guitar classes although she wants a teacher that could teach her guitar and voice at the same time
Megan
My daughter is 7 and wants to learn guitar. Do you teach online only or in person? Not sure how this works but I am looking for a traditional one on one teacher for her.
