Let's groove! I have been performing as a bassist for over 18 years, and teaching for over ten years. As an instructor, I meet students where they are and tailor my teaching approach accordingly. Lessons are collaborative; I want to get to know each student and your individual goals and learning style in order to create an open and comfortable learning environment. My extensive musical background allows you to choose music YOU like to play, and through each song we will work on specific technical, harmonic, and rhythmic concepts. I use my experience as an active working musician to inform the lessons and ground everything you learn in real-world application.

I can tailor lessons to your needs , the style you want to play, and I can create assignments to help you reach your goals from a professional working musician's perspective. You will find just after a short period how much you can improve your skills and feel the confidence to continue to your goal. My teaching experiences have taken me through schools , clinics at music stores and workshops. I also coach bands , teach beginner to intermediate bass , and music production one on one or group.

"I took bass lessons from DeRock years ago, and I still remember how encouraging and supportive he was. He made learning fun, taught me songs I enjoyed, and helped me build a solid foundation as a player. That foundation served me well throughout the 14 years I spent performing as a gigging musician. What stood out most was his patience and ability to explain things in a way that made sense. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a teacher who truly cares about helping students grow.
I’m a multi-instrumentalist, and have a decade of experience performing, educating, and developing musicians.

If you’re looking to learn one of the many musical or production/engineering skills I’ve learned over the years I’m happy to help! I love sharing my knowledge and skills with students who are willing to put in the work to learn their craft. Making music and playing musical instruments are difficult skills to learn, especially on your own. Hiring a coach can save you years of banging your head against the wall, questioning every decision that has only lead you to mediocre results that makes even your mom question where she went wrong as a parent. Good news is there is hope! You know you don’t know what you don’t know and you aren’t lying to yourself, therefore, you are capable of learning and being coached. With over 2 decades of experience playing in bands, producing, mixing, mastering, and more than 8 years teaching multiple instruments I can help you become the musician or producer you know is inside your head. - - Subjects include: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Piano, Ukulele, Music Production
"David is unlike any guitar teacher I have worked with. He pays close attention to details like finger placement of guitar hold and listens carefully to correct any bad habits, posture, or form. Sometimes you are used to playing a certain way and don't notice some bad form or habits and he's able to diagnose sound issues. David is also great at being encouraging and suggesting ways of playing that makes sense for each song. He customizes the lesson so that you feel good about playing. He makes playing really fun and what seemed hard before, he helps to make it easy. He helps you feel like a rockstar after a few lessons. I highly recommend David!

If you have a guitar and a pick, definitely bring it. If I am teaching scales and chords, you may want to film it on your phone so you don’t have to try to remember everything.

With children, it’s important to provide inspiration and work according to their learning styles. Some kids learn visually by observing, others learn through asking questions and curiosity. The overlap between different learning styles is a need for patience as well as discipline. Children tend to have short attention spans, but when properly motivated they can stay on task for 30 minutes easily. Rather than boring them with scales and music theory it’s important to show them songs they think are cool. This is the ultimate motivator.
