My twelve year old son, Charlie has been having private guitar lessons with Dave for nearly two years. My son started with absolutely no experience playing any instrument after being bought a guitar for his birthday. Dave helped Charlie learn how to hold the guitar, how to recognize the cords, how to read sheet music and how to play the beat along side a vocal track. I enjoy listening to Charlie and Dave play together weekly. Charlie has a passion for music and enjoys his music lessons not only for the rhythm but also for the jokes he can crack with Dave. Dave seems to have a wide range of clients

Dave's relaxed style coupled together with him teaching you with music you love really enables you to continue to feel motivated. It's no secret that learning to play the guitar is difficult but in this way you can connect with what you're learning to play which just adds that extra bit of love in what you're doing and really makes the time spent practicing enjoyable and worth it.
I feel motivated and positive after each weekly session with Dave and this is vital because with out this I probably would have given up by now.

Dave is a great guitar teacher, he develops skills using music matched to your interests whether you like blues, rock, pop etc. He caters to all levels of skill from beginner to advanced, if your interested he also will put you in for exams. He's a teacher who will go the extra mile for each pupil not only improving your skill but also widening your knowledge of music. I would highly recommend him, an excellent teacher.

My 8 year old son has been having lessons from Dave for 2 years. Having researched local music schools, I was keen to find an independent and professional music teacher for my son. My son began learning the ukulele at the age of 6 before progressing onto the guitar, a year later. Dave has been a real inspiration to my son! He has really helped my son to develop confidence with music, encouraging him to explore all types of ukulele and guitar music. During the school holidays, Dave has also encouraged my daughter to join in by singing along and both children have enjoyed some musical duets! I would

I've been studying with Dave for over a year now and it has been a truly amazing experience. I have never met anyone with such a fantastic knowledge of music and a truly individualised teaching style. Dave will teach you the music that you want to learn, in a way that has you playing right from lesson one. Every session is as fun as the last it's more like popping round to a mate's house with the added bonus of rocking some tunes while you're there. Dave has done wonders for my confidence too. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone thinking of picking up a guitar either for fun or if you are

Dave took the time to listen to what I want from guitar lessons and then structured them to suit my needs. He is always cheerful and enthusiastic, makes you feel good about learning and is incredibly encouraging.
