How I Can Help

With good tuition, learning an instrument helps children feel good about themselves and their abilities. My goal is simple - to help each student experience success through music and enjoyment through playing and performing!

Making the Grade!

Rock and Pop Guitar grades are fun and inspiring. I have been entering students for a decade, and am proud to have an 100% success rate in all exams. All students are offered the opportunity to take grades, or simply to learn for fun.

Never Too Old!

Ever felt a tinge of regret that you didn't follow up on a passion for music? Life gets in the way and it's easy to give up and think the ship has sailed. At DIGmusic, I believe that anyone can learn to play guitar at any age! Ok, not everyone can become the next virtuoso, but if your goal is to learn from scratch, or if you've played in the past but feel a bit rusty or stuck, I can help!

Returning to lessons as an adult with Dave has been great - his relaxed, patient and friendly style makes lessons a weekly highlight

A wooden acoustic guitar is leaning against an amplifier, with a strap draped over it. Beside the guitar, there is an upright bass lying on its side on a wooden floor. The background features a textured wall with wooden paneling and framed pictures.

Our son has had lessons with Dave since he was 8 years old (over 4 years) and really enjoys them. The lessons are fun and relaxed. Dave is very helpful, patient and approachable. His student shows are a great opportunity for anyone who's keen to get a taste of performing live with a band. We would highly recommend him for anyone looking to learn to play guitar.
