About David

I'm a professional musician and educator with years of experience in the industry and close to 200 students taught. I've been playing guitar for around twenty years and have experience in an array of styles but predominantly focus on folk, indie-rock, funk, country, and R&B. As a tutor in the past few years, I've taught students of all abilities, interests, ages, and backgrounds and have developed a relaxed but goal focused teaching style. In 2020, I finished a Songwriting Masters' at ICMP in London, for which I received a Distinction, and am currently co-writing with a diverse range of artists for a number of professional projects. Projects I’ve worked on have been placed in major Spotify playlists, received over a million Spotify streams, and had significant radio circulation including BBC Radio 1.

I'm a firm believer in tailoring the lessons to the needs and interests of the student to ensure they make progress in the right direction whilst staying interested and challenged. This means that I'm interested in finding out how you want lessons to go, whether that be learning your favourite songs, learning new chords, studying technical skills, understanding scales, or something completely different. My lessons are appropriate for beginner to intermediate students and I also teach songwriting and music theory lessons for those interested in learning. Outside of classes, I'm open to discuss songs, technique, career goals, co-writing, learning resources or whatever else will help you develop as a musician.

Note - the ‘free lesson’ is an introductory call to get on the same page about the direction you want to take with lessons and help me plan a course of action.

  • When did you first develop a passion for music and your favourite instrument?

    I played guitar on and off for years as a kid but really got invested when I discovered people like Jackson Browne and Neil Young when I was 16 and started writing my own songs; 60s/70s folk-rock was really my launching pad into writing songs and taking guitar seriously.
  • Is there a particular type of music or artist that you listen to on a loop without it driving you crazy?

    I listen to a lot of modern indie-folk/indie-rock currently - I'm really enjoying everything Aaron Dessner puts his name to at the moment but will also find myself returning to favourites from my teens such as Tom Petty.
  • Explain to us the most difficult or riveting course you could personally give to a student of music.

    Some of the music theory I work through with students can be quite difficult but as soon as students get to grips with the logic of theory, they're off to the races.
  • What do you think is the most complicated instrument to master and why?

    It's probably an esoteric instrument with twenty strings that I've never seen before but I'd have to say singing. So much has to go into the maintenance of your voice beyond the core skillset, I take my hat off to anyone who can sing. That said, any instrument is hard to truly master.
  • What are your keys to success?

    Be open and friendly - you have to spend a lot of time with other people in music so you'll get far more opportunities if people enjoy your company.
  • Name three musicians you dream of meeting in your favourite bar in the early hours of the morning.

    I don't know if a late-night bar would be my first choice of meeting place for musical heroes but Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne to chat and thank them for their influence and Jack Antonoff to pick his brains on collaboration.
  • Provide a valuable anecdote related to music or your days at music school.

    Not a specific anecdote but one of the most valuable experiences of my music school days was learning the importance of sharing work, listening to feedback, and working with others. There's a lot of ego in corners of the music industry so people will always find it refreshing if you can be open and collaborative without letting pride get in the way.
  • What are the little touches that make you a Superprof in music?

    Empathy and understanding the pressure of playing guitar to somebody else or sharing original songs to another person for the first time.
