Play Guitar at Studio City Recreation Center

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!
