About
For over 20 years, I’ve helped students truly understand their instrument and enjoy the process of learning. Whether you’re new to guitar, bass, singing, or music theory, I focus on breaking down complex ideas into simple, clear steps that make sense and stick.
As a one-on-one instructor and recording professional, I tailor each lesson to your goals—whether that’s playing your favorite songs, improving your voice, or getting comfortable with audio production.
Please take a moment to watch the video in my profile to see my playing style. If what you hear matches where you want to go on the guitar, I’d be honored to help you get there.

I’ve taken two classes with Dyce so far, and honestly, I’ve progressed more in these two sessions than I ever imagined I could. He helped me skip what would have probably been weeks of slow progress on my own.
His teaching method is amazing — it’s very technical but at the same time super fun. He really understands what you need to improve and optimizes every class 100%. On top of that, he makes you look forward to the next class as soon as you finish the current one.
Highly recommend him to anyone who really wants to improve and enjoy the process.

Every time I come home my mom and sister are blown away by how excited I am after every class. I feel Dyce is so amazing at teaching because he tackles it with three approaches: Singing logic, science, and metephors. Dyce is so awesome and really knows what he’s doing. It’s been three weeks and I’ve felt my scale open up waaaay beyond what I bought it could.

Dyce is a very talented and patient musician and voice coach. He helped me understand how to sing better and with less voice strain. I wasn’t getting it at first and he kept helping me in different ways until I did. Thanks Dyce!!

very professional and friendly! Helped me a lot with my singing and helped me look at my singing a complete different way. I am currently going once a week. Definitely worth it.

Good guy and very patient. I have never taken singinglessons in my life. He's ALWAYS on time and works a lot of hours so you have no excuse saying you don't have the time.
