About Music Lessons

When Dave learned that this student loves cars, he created a fun game and song so the student would be attracted to the entertaining aspect of the lesson.

It is obvious both student and teacher found delight in the student’s success.

“Warm and supportive, Dave is good at meeting my son where he is at and setting him up for success. Having a special needs child with language and attention difficulties, my son requires a little more patience and Dave is kind, yet firm. He customizes each lesson not only on the basics of how an instrument works and on music theory, but on what interests my son. This helps him maintain focus. He imparts enthusiasm and fun, and puts the “play” into playing an instrument.”

It’s about SONGS! Songs have Structure yet Flexibility. Songs can make us Laugh or Inspire us. They cause us to Notice and Respond to others.
