Testimonials
5/5
The best guitar teacher my children have ever worked with. He is consistently challenging them to become the best guitar players, and he is incredibly patient.
Each week, Dave's priority is making sure they have fun during the lesson.
Dave’s lessons are very well structured; he presents them in a way that makes them easy to understand and easy to practise at home.
While he always has plenty to teach, he also encourages them to tell him what they would like to learn and work on each lesson.
Dave not only wants his students to improve and learn but to have fun!
I highly recommend Dave.
5/5
A great teacher who is easy to get along with, very personable, and has an informal teaching style that allows you to be comfortable and not afraid to make mistakes.
After a few lessons with Dave, it's very, very clear that he has a plan in place of what to teach, and it's really nice to see previous lessons build upon each other.
Our lessons have been focused around fretboard knowledge, and jazz & blues styles.
5/5
Dave is a very patient, approachable, and a conscientious teacher.
He is highly skilled with the guitar (as expected of a teacher), but he is also highly modest and it's clear that he wants nothing more than to share his talent and knowledge.
I highly recommend Dave to both adults and children!
5/5
Dave is patient and understanding, and tailored lessons to how our son was feeling.
He always thinks outside the box, and shared his wealth of knowledge and love of music by making lessons fun and entertaining.
Would highly recommend.
