Dave has instructed guitar in community college, small businesses, and private households. He believes music is more than "just music”. He strives to help children and adults excel in confidence, critical thinking, and understanding music in both its physical & technical skill, and theoretical concepts. Dave dedicates his time to teaching students how to practice rather than expecting results through assignments. With Dave's guidance, students can see immediate improvement with focused, limited practice week-after-week. Watching his students build confidence in their skill is what makes him passionate about teaching the instrument.
