"Learn the rules like a pro, then break them as an artist" - Pablo Picasso
Each student’s curriculum is individualized and adaptable to their level and interests. Songs are our greatest tool for teaching music, so students are encouraged to choose songs they love and want to learn. Besides, who wants to learn songs they don’t like?

About David D.
4.9
(19)
David is a multi-instrumentalist, music producer, mix engineer, and music instructor who works with artists and students at varying levels developing their skills, creativity, and music. After nearly 2 decades of studio work and live performance gigs, David has an understanding of the skillset and mindset necessary to deliver on a professional level.
In 2015, David was nominated for a Pensado Award for "Most Unique Project Studio" and followed that up in 2016 sharing the stage with Jimmy Eat World and Neon Trees.
“Everyone learns differently, so instead of taking a rigid approach to teaching I like to adapt to the student’s needs, whether it be learning by ear or guitar tabs, playing standards or writing their own originals. Learning and playing music is challenging, as is anything worth doing, but it can and should also be fun. I aim to make it both challenging and fun at the same time.”

David is an excellent teacher and really helped my son with the technical aspects of guitar and later, audio engineering. He is very supportive of his students but also pushes them to improve. He recognizes his student’s strengths and helps them see where they can grow. Our family has been so grateful to David!

My son and daughter both had such a great time learning piano with David! He's full of energy and taught them to play music they were interested in learning, even more unusual requests. They always looked forward to their classes with David! He always arrived on time, he's great with kids (and dogs), and his love of music is infectious.
