About David

- What kind of experience do you have?

I have been playing guitar for 25 years and have gained experience in playing many different genres of music from classical duos I'm weddings and corporate events, solo performer to playing in 5 piece rockabilly bands to playing bass in Bluesideout. I have been teaching in schools across Cheshire with Music For Life.

- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?

yes

- Where and with whom did you train?

On the guitar I began my lessons with Mr Stephen Caswell where I learned musicianship skills, sight reading, accompaniment skills, duet lessons. At Stoke College my training was with John Lambert which also included duet and group work, enhanced guitar technique and developed in different styles including flamenco, jazz and spannish guitar to an advanced level. Also I studied with various teachers in masterclasses and musicianship as well.

- Do you belong to any professional organisations?

I'm registered with The Registry of Guitar Tutors and the Musicians Union

- Tell me about some of your current students.

My students are ranging from beginners up to Grade 8 standard. They learn in a combination of classical and acoustic style but some of my students prefer to learn in a more modern style and are learning to play some current music in the charts. I always ensure that pupils choose the route they are most suited to pursuing.

- Which ages and levels do you teach?

My pupils learn Guitar to a very high level from ages four up to adult learners. My pupils have excellent technique which is something I expect from my pupils from a very young age. They learn all round music skills through a variety of games and activities which make each aspect of learning fast pace and fun whilst gaining each of the fundamental skills needed for playing the guitar. I have developed a style of teaching which can be adapted to the learner but I have extremely high expectations and encourage pupils to practice regularly and to achieve their full potential. My two most recent examination candidates both achieved distinctions through Rockschool and LCM.
