“My wife says she can tolerate me practicing in the house now!!”

“Paul can’t wait for his weekly lesson. Its also too short for him and he really wants him to stay longer! This is awesome because other music teachers told me 7 year old boys usually won’t have the attention span to learn more than 30 minutes.”

“My daughter really likes David, she looks forward to her lessons and is motivated to practice. In 3 months, she is playing songs already. I am impressed!”

Justin K

“I’d recommend David to any aspiring musician, regardless of skill level or experience. Before this year, I’d never taken a music lesson. After only a lesson or two, I had learned enough to play a few songs which immediately got me more inspired to go back and learn more.”

Mohammad S

“David was such an amazing and patient teacher. I had zero background in guitar but by the end of class 2 I was able to play a Beatles song!”

Update 1/13/22: Happy Winter! It’s with great joy to announce that my studio space in Central Davis is back in action with a full keyboard, guitar amp, and a drum set for musical enjoyment 🙂

I am currently living in Sacramento and am teaching in Davis 2 days per week in-person on Mondays and Wednesdays. I am entirely full on Wednesdays after 1PM and nearly full on Monday afternoon/evening. Morning availability is available on both days.

If you’re looking to start lessons, please contact me to reserve your spot or to inquire about getting on the wait list.

I have more availability for virtual lessons as well as in-person lessons in Sacramento for all instruments on Thursday/Friday. Please reach out if you’d like to schedule something.

Please inquire about doing in-home (outdoors) lessons on Mondays/Wednesdays in Davis (+$5/session for in-home lessons).

I teach people to play music in a way that’s fun, energizing, and engaging, and not stressful, painful, or boring. Whether you want to learn how to play your favorite songs, be able to write your own, get to a place where you can jam and improvise with your friends, start a band, or learn more technical skills on the guitar, ukulele, keys, banjo, or other instrument, I would love to work with you!

My lessons are geared towards beginner and intermediate musicians. It doesn’t matter if you’d had lessons before or have never picked up an instrument…you’ll be surprised how quickly you learn the basics and start playing songs that you like.

I have students of all ages, from 5 to 70 years old. It’s never too early or late to start learning and developing a love and appreciation for music and playing.

All the best in music, love, and inspiration!
David
