Music Theory with David P.

Hi, I'm David. I've been playing the guitar since 1997, playing around town in bands since 2000, and teaching since 2014. I attended the guitar program at The Atlanta Institute of Music. I'm well versed in rock, metal, blues, bluegrass, jazz, and country guitar. My approach to teaching is simple, flexible, and is based my personal experiences with lessons, both privately and in an academic setting. Namely, that playing music is fun, lessons should be fun, and that students progress more and are better able to achive their goals when presented with a flexible and personalized curriculum. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach; I believe that fundamentals like reading, ear training and technique are better learned by focusing on the student's personal tastes and preferences as a guide, rather than relying on dull method books. I don't want my students to be "learning" the guitar, I want them to be playing, and playing the music they love.
