Play Guitar at Avalon School of Music

I am a professional music instructor/performer and a graduate from Berklee College of Music. I specialize in jazz, fusion, pop, and of course metal. With many years of teaching experience, my primary goal has always been to share my passion for music and inspire students to explore their horizons. I strive to create an engaging and supportive learning environment throughout the lessons. By fostering creativity, encouraging persistence, and celebrating each student’s unique progress, I aim to instill a lifelong appreciation for music in everyone I teach.

"Truly a disciple of Joe Stump. David taught me how to get out of my comfort zone in terms of sweep picking arpeggios and alternate picking. He opened up my perspective in viewing the fretboard through different approaches and creating ideas outside the box. It's been an enlightening experience taking lessons from David. I can't thank him enough.

As a touring artist, I bring 10 years of professional experience to my guitar instruction. I'm dedicated to helping students of all levels unlock their musical potential. My approach is tailored, ensuring an engaging and effective learning journey.

Music has been my lifelong passion, and for the past 45 years, I've been fortunate enough to share that passion with aspiring guitarists of all levels. As a recording artist, I bring a unique perspective and wealth of experience to each lesson. I attended the Hartford Conservatory of Music where I studied guitar, audio engineering, and record production among many other subjects and have been helping aspiring guitarists attain their specific goals for 3 decades. My lessons are custom tailored to help each student achieve their goals on the instrument and I place the enjoyment of playing above everything else. Becoming a better musician can be a rewarding challenge, and fun along with self actualization are the vehicle through which this journey happens.
