About David
With over forty-five years of professional experience, I've taught high school through university and hundreds of adult private students from eighteen to seventy-eight. My background is in jazz and classical music performing in concert, solo to big bands, studio work, composing music for documentary films, stage work, and a concert producer, in addition to turning out CDs of my music from original solo classical guitar pieces through all types of jazz and beyond. For decades I had the all-state high school players every year in the jazz bands, and a significant went on to the best colleges for music and to this day play professionally all over the world.

I enjoy teaching and watching people learn. I use a self-developed method that uses a sophisticated yet easy-to-comprehend way tablature far more developed than typical tablature found in commercially bought books. By the time a student begins looking at a music staff, they already can read rhythms, understand the fingerboard, play scales and chord voicings everywhere, and play complete pieces of music including classical, jazz, folk, blues, and more. Essentially, you have learned how to play fairly well so approaching notes on a music staff is far less daunting of an undertaking and less intimidating which I have always found to be a hindrance for many people wanting to learn to play the guitar. Fretted plucked instruments have specific challenges not encountered on most other instruments such as piano or any wind or string instrument. My tablature method makes these challenges easy to negotiate as you learn. All levels and ages are welcome.

Though I have a base price here of $40hr, I am known to go over time quite a bit if a student requires this which I do with no extra charge. I want to make sure a student understands what they are doing after a lesson so confusion does not set in and they are confident in knowing what they are practicing.
