Introduction: Hello, my name is David and I am a professional guitar teacher. I have a degree in jazz performance from Temple University and have 12 years experience in teaching. Over the years I have taught at many different music schools and currently teach a guitar course at the community college of philadelphia. I am currently looking to fill some spots at my studio in university city (a block from clark park). Since my students have often very specific tastes in music I personalize the lessons and keep your goals in mind always. Im a versatile musician and love and work in many different kinds of music so whether your into rock, blues, pop, jazz, spanish classical, fingerstyle or just want to get down with some music theory I always work to accomodate what it is that you ultimately want to learn and get out of the instrument. Lessons may include learning songs, scale study, chord structure, music theory, songwriting and jam sessions and I leave you with something written out for you to practice at home. So if your looking to dust off that old guitar, hone in and master some skills that you already have or maybe you would just like to start a new hobby, I would love to help you overcome any musical challenges that you may face. I enjoy helping people reach their goals and working with individuals that are passionate and have a love for music.

I have always wanted to learn guitar but never took the time to take lessons. Mr. Marion offered to give me a trial lesson so that I might decide to continue with lessons or chalk my desire to learn up to a pipe dream. He was extremely patient and creative while instructing me and even managed to make me feel like I might have a natural ability buried in there somewhere... I continue to take lessons with David to date.

Dave is a talented and kind individual. Although he is primarily a jazz guitarist, he can teach any style or genre. As a teacher, he is very relaxed and manages to be productive and helpful during lesson. Dave is the coolest guitar teacher.

David is a remarkable musician and consummate professional. I have enjoyed knowing him in professional musical capacities for many years and his kind and giving nature, impeccable taste and mastery of his instrument serve as benchmarks for those aspiring to pursue a life and career in the arts.

Dave is an amazing teacher. As a practicing professional musician and teacher, it's easy to see who has the touch. I always wanted to play guitar and he's shown me how it can be so easy to cross over to a different instrument. Jazz is his specialty but he easily switches to classical finger style. He has a firm grasp of theory and reading. Highly recommend him. You'll have an excellent experience.

Although Dave is a guitar teacher, he also became my Ukulele teacher which was awesome. I had no knowledge other than a couple chord shapes and he taught me how to expand off of what I know. The basics of transposing from one instrument to another, and was just always fun to hang with and jam with. Definitely a great teacher
