Piano with Greg D.

I have previously taught many instruments as well as years of English. I'm an Encinitas local who has been teaching since age 16 around San Diego and internationally in several countries. I've worked with a wide variety of students from age 5 to 70 on almost every style of music imaginable. I especially love working with children and teenagers who like to "think outside the box" and approach the learning process in unconventional manners. My methods are unique to every individual student and extremely effective and enjoyable. I have years of experience as a performing musician and can pass what I've learned on to you in my ever-improving style of instruction. You won't be disappointed. *** Lesson Details *** I like to walk what I call "the fine line between fun and informative". I know my students learn best when they are enjoying the learning process, so I work to give them the greatest amount of new useful knowledge at a pace which doesn't overwhelm them and keeps them excited about what's coming next. After the first lesson you will already have a profound new perspective on the instrument you choose and be well on your way to uncovering the mastery of its secrets. After only a few months, I promise you will be accomplishing great things on it you previously thought required years of intensive study. I generalize, simplify, and clarify the musical process so that you can retain the most new knowledge and technical skill possible in the shortest amount of time. You are getting a huge return on your time and money by working with me. *** Specialties *** Classic rock and roll, jazz, blues, Irish fiddle, bluegrass, classical, television/movie/video game scores
