Has a good feel for when to push and demand more from the student and when to encourage and keep it fun. Well versed in music theory and will not settle for teaching one to play a repertoire of songs from wrote memory. His instructional C/D’s, which are based on actual recorded material, are an excellent learning tool. The material is presented as both a single instrument; banjo, mandolin or guitar, as well as duet combinations, up to tempo and half speed. This makes the material suitable for beginning through intermediate students. Unlike other instructors, Dave never “overbooks” and when you schedule a lesson, you can count on starting on time. At the same time, he is very accommodating and willing to work around shifting work schedules and personal issues to schedule lessons. The rates are consistent with other private instructions that I have taken in the past. Overall Rating 9
