Introduction: In addition to playing guitar for over 20 years, I have over 13 years of professional music playing and guitar teaching experience. From having taught so many students, I've definitely honed my skills as a teacher and I've figured out what works the best when teaching budding guitarists as well as advanced players. Most importantly, from the very first lesson, I aim to find out what the student is interested in playing and what their guitar playing goals are. Then I'll tailor the lessons based on their needs and I'll find them the fastest way to reach their goals. I also bring a unique perspective to learning guitar because I am also a singer/songwriter and play the piano, harmonica, and the tenor banjo. I often work with guitar students on music theory as it relates songwriting and creative ways of playing the guitar to jump-start the inventive spark necessary to write their own songs. Also, I work with singers on how to play guitar while singing. I hold a bachelors degree with a minor in Music Industry from James Madison University. 

I am also proud to have had 4 years of studying classical guitar with Keith Stevens of JMU. You can hear some of my music and read more about me on my website. The most enjoyment I get out of teaching guitar is when the student feels that they have learned something new, and that they are working towards their goals as a musician and guitar player. Playing music and learning guitar is a long journey and I'm happy to be taking part in that with them and helping them along the way. I hope that after each lesson the student takes away something new and gains new insight into the process of learning an instrument.

I've been taking weekly lessons with Dave for nearly two years now. When I started with him, I had love for music but no ability to play an instrument. With Dave's help I can now play guitar confidently; even to the point where I will jump in and play with more experienced friends. Dave's main strength I think is patience. I'm the sort of person who gets anxious performing / playing in front of others. The fact that Dave created a space where I feel comfortable playing says a lot about him! Another thing I enjoy about lessons with Dave is that he'll take the time to help you learn to figure out how to play the songs you like. He has a great ear, and a lot of knowledge of music theory.

Dave is a great teacher with extensive knowledge of many styles of music. Over the years I've learned rock, blues, and country songs, and Dave continues to amaze me with his knowledge of music theory. I highly recommend him.

I love my lessons with Dave Huber. It took me a long time to find a teacher I as comfortable with as my first guitar teacher. Dave is patient, kind, clear, and so knowledgeable. He is great at showing me how to do things in different ways, until I get them. He can figure out any song I bring him and teach it to me, yet has the patience to wait peacefully as I fumble around. Dave knows when to push me and when to ease up. I would recommend Dave to any guitar player of all levels.

I've had a guitar for many years, never could form any practice habits to actually learn and play songs. I've always wanted to make my own music and record. Dave finally taught me how to play and it's been awesome to see my goal getting closer. I highly recommend him to any beginner, and he's even taught me many things that my musician friends don't know. He's extremely patient when walking through a song and stumbling through chords.

When I moved to Baltimore I was looking for a place to take guitar lessons. I was not familiar with the city and I did not know where to find a good teacher. A few months later I met one of Dave Huber’s students at a concert and he recommended that I try it out. I was extremely nervous because I have never played an instrument before. He is very knowledgeable about music but the best thing about taking guitar lessons from Dave is his patience. I would recommend him to anyone no matter their experience level. Stacie A
