About
For over sixteen years, I have been instructing prospective musicians in guitar and piano. My name is David, and I have received classical training in both instruments at the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory, under the tutelage of esteemed mentors Douglas Niedt, Karen Kushner, and Christopher Madden. In addition to my classical education, I have studied jazz guitar with renowned figures like Danny Embrey, Jay EuDaly, and Stanton Kessler. My students come from all walks of life - beginners, intermediates, and native experts - but I specialize in coaching students who have previously struggled to produce headway with their instruments. Despite the focus on progress, I take a relaxed apporach that emphasizes excellence in all aspects of instruction. Rather than employing exercises or rote repetition, students are encouraged to learn in the context of "real" music and musical practice. Students can access two studio locations, one located in my home studio in Raytown, MO, just fifteen minutes from anywhere in the KC metro area, and the other situated in Blue Springs off of I-70 Highway.

David is really amazing! He possesses immense knowledge and was able to identify my weaknesses in no time. Prior to the lesson, I had been self-taught and had relied only on online videos, but they only had limited benefits. David taught me some essential basics which I had been missing and these minor adjustments have completely transformed my guitar journey. Thank you so much!

David possesses an abundant knowledge and exhibits remarkable patience while assisting a novice pianist. He imparts useful insights that an ordinary individual wouldn't consider before delving into the musical piece. Furthermore, he thoroughly elucidates the "why" behind the "how," which I find crucial. I am eagerly anticipating our continued collaboration.

Everything college-level classes couldn't teach me, I learned in my first guitar lesson. Once David showed me the proper way to hold it, I felt completely at ease. His calm demeanor and incredible patience made all the difference. The ability to log my practice time and check my homework on my phone is an added bonus. I'm thrilled to have David as my guitar teacher and can't wait to continue learning from him.

He answered queries promptly and exhibited a cordial and polished demeanor. Currently, he is instructing my offspring.
