About
Located in ***RALEIGH, NC*** for in person lessons. Teaching nationwide online.
Hi there, thank you for visiting my page!
I've been teaching music for over 10 years. Teaching and playing music are my passions and what I know I am meant to do in life. In an effort to better serve those who are interested in learning vocals, the guitar, bass, and ukulele I have brought a few other passionate teachers. We look forward to helping you reach your musical goals!
What sets us apart as teachers is our approach to teaching and our hands on experience with the techniques and concepts we are showing you. Past and current students can attest to our ability to relate information in a relevant, understandable, and practical way. Oftentimes, students are not given an explanation as to why they are learning something, and why it’s important. As our students better understand the “why” of music, they appreciate and understand the applicability of the material, and consequently can bring their own musical abilities to greater heights. As teachers, we understand that there are multiple learning styles, and therefore strive to meet each of our students where they learn best.

Dan is a a solid dude. My first lesson i didn’t even touch the guitar on some Karate kid type training lol. He just explained the ins and outs of my amp and introduced elements of music theory to help me help out with navigating the fretboard.

I highly recommend Dan for guitarlessons! He is professional, organized, personable, and attentive, and clearly dedicates a lot of time and thought to his lesson planning. His assignments engage multiple learning styles which helps with my understanding and absorption, and the progression of the materials feels natural while remaining challenging. I have attempted to learn the guitar several times over the years, but have never stayed consistent. I decided that it was finally time to start guitarlessons, but finding the right teacher was important to me — I knew that it’d be too easy for me to quit if I didn’t see myself improving. I’ve now had four lessons with Dan and have already advanced in areas that have historically been hindrances for me (fretboard note identification, chord transition, timing). Dan provides links to recordings of each lesson, which not only helps with recall, but also lets me see and hear how I’m playing (for both purposes of self-correction and self-congratulation!). I’m truly enjoying my lessons with Dan and look forward to continuing!

I had my first lesson with Dan. Before the lesson he made sure to send on all resources. During the lesson, Dan was friendly and offered a great learning experience. He is sure to make each minute count. Afterwards he sends the exercise so you can practice in your own time.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I schedule students out by the month, so when you sign up with me you've got a guaranteed appointment every week on the same day and time for that month! For your protection and mine I do ask for the month's payment on the first lesson of each month.
If you need to cancel, or reschedule for any reason I ask that you give me at least 24 hours notice. Lessons that are missed without notice, or cancelled last minute (barring any unforsee emergency) will be counted as a lesson and debited from the pre-paid monthly rate. My rates are $35 for a half hour, 50$ for 45 minutes, and $60 for a whole for either online, or in person lessons at my home studio.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First we will have a complimentary phone consultation to see if we will be a good match for one another. From there we can determine a day a day, time, and medium for our lessons!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
