Music has always been a huge part of my life, and so over the years I've tried many times to learn an instrument. Guitar, bass, piano, saxophone, harmonica, voice... none of them really panned out for me. When I look back on it now, I see there were two things that always stopped me from getting anywhere: The first one was: when I tried to teach myself I felt too overwhelmed by all of the different advice out there. And the second thing was: I never clicked with any of the teachers I found. They were all cool people, but I struggled to learn the way they wanted me to learn, and I couldn't stay engaged with the material. My guitar lessons with David were the exact opposite of those things. They were exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. David has a very egoless teaching style, and I was really humbled by how much thought he put into every aspect of the lessons. We did four virtual lessons over Zoom, over the course of about a month and a half. He gave me exercises to practice, and notes about what we went over. In the beginning I did my best to explain my challenges to him when it comes to learning, motivation, practicing, and confidence. Shockingly, he then took all of that into account, and I never once felt like I was "letting him down" or that I wasn't "where I should be." It's very rare for me to feel that relaxed about learning something. I felt that I had the permission and the space to learn how I learn, and to follow the parts that are interesting to me. Because of that, I felt that I wanted to practice, and I did. I have rarely, if ever, met someone who takes the business of teaching as seriously as David. I can't imagine how different my life would be if I had encountered more teachers like David, in my life.

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer competitive pricing for guitar lessons - - $35 for 30-minute sessions - $50 for 45-minute sessions - $65 for 60-minute sessions Additionally I offer a ~7.5% discount for 4 pack of lessons. To make sure it's a good fit, I provide the first lesson for 50% off!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
To get started, I recommend a 15-minute introductory call where we discuss your experience, musical interests, and goals. I'll also share details about my teaching style and outline the next steps to arrange your free trial lesson.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been playing guitar for 30 years, taking lessons in rock, blues, bluegrass, and jazz. I minored in music at Stony Brook University, studying music theory and tonal harmony, and have played bass and guitar in various bands. My diverse musical background includes violin, piano, and drums. With over five years as a corporate trainer, I've honed my skills in teaching, keeping students engaged, and designing effective curriculums. One of my unique strengths as a teacher is that I like to be very organized with my students - I prepare thoroughly for each lesson, assign clear homework, and provide a website with learning materials and a 2-minute summary video after each session.
