Description:

My name is Dave Cipriani and I firmly believe that music can be a source of healing for our soul, mind, and body. It allows us to release our pain and experience joy while accessing deeper parts of ourselves that may be difficult to reach in everyday life. Through music, we connect with our hearts and find solace, comfort, and joy that we may have forgotten. It can lead to wholeness and acceptance, and I believe it has the potential to create positive change in the world. As a musician and teacher, I have witnessed my students reconnect with themselves and find beauty in their experience.

As for my technical teachings, I offer beginner to advanced lessons for guitar, ukulele, piano (beginner to intermediate), bass, and vocals. I teach a wide range of styles, including jazz, rock, folk, classical, blues, African, Celtic/Irish, Balkan (Eastern European), and North Indian Classical. I can also teach Indian slide guitar (Mohan Vina), Indian music for Western instruments, and basic Indian (raga) vocals.

I work with my students to find a balance between technical development and music that inspires them to practice. I charge $80/hour, $60/45 minutes, and $40/30 minutes, with package discounts available. I also offer gift certificates and a sliding scale for those who are serious about lessons but cannot afford the full rate. Payment can be made through Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, cash, or check.

Lastly, I organize bi-annual online recitals for students in multiple states and Brazil. Reach out to me if you have any questions or if there is something specific you want to learn.

Dave has exceeded my expectations! I couldn't be more pleased with how well he has connected with my son. He is always prompt and comes well-prepared for each lesson. My son thoroughly enjoys his time spent with Dave, which is evident from the progress he has made in his guitar playing. In fact, I'm impressed with my son's ability to play and even asked him to play my favorite song, which he is confident he'll master in no time.

Working alongside Dave on my guitar journey brought immense joy. His knowledge spans far and wide, and he was able to provide me with great songs or licks that matched my needs each week or month. I was experiencing a stagnant phase earlier, but with his valuable guidance, I gained a better comprehension of the instrument and elevated my playing to the next level. I wholeheartedly endorse him as a teacher, no matter what level you're at.

I highly recommend the guitar lessons via Skype that my daughter took, as our experience was fantastic! Dave was very accommodating and displayed excellent teaching skills with my daughter. She kept track of her practice sessions and attended weekly lessons.

After connecting with Mr. Cipriani for Zoom music lessons, my son has finally developed a positive attitude towards them! We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend Mr. Cipriani.
