Information About David:
Personal Description:
I am 28 and have been playing guitar for 13 years. I am interested in all styles of music but for my own work i concentrate on instrumental rock/blues. I am working on my own guitar based album and also write music for film and media projects which can require various styles of music. I have recently gained an honours degree in music performance and composition and have since studied with Hollywood film composer Hummie Mann.
Teaching Experience:
I have taught a few people who are currently writing their own material, but have no experience at an official level.
Tutoring Approach:
my approach is simple and effective. I believe that there are too many people teaching theoretical music principles to students which put many people off from taking lessons in the first place. I teach people the fundamental techniques of guitar playing so that they can focus on being more creative with the instrument rather than following theoretical rules which i believe at an early stage can confuse the student and make them feel less motivated to learn. I think learning an instrument does take discipline, especially to learn the techniques involved, but when practising becomes boring, the learning process slows and progress is minimal. My method allows the student to explore the instrument in their own way. My job is to teach the skills they need to be able to achieve what they want on guitar.
Teaching will take place at my house as i have a mini studio which will be used as part of the lesson structure.
