Maybe you’ve never played an instrument before and want to learn for fun.  Perhaps you’ve been playing guitar for years and have encountered obstacles and barriers to understanding music theory. This has prevented you from putting the pieces together to produce the improvements necessary for your growth as a guitarist.

The David Joel Guitar Studio

We help students build and increase their musical skills by teaching them fundamentals. This creates excellent musicianship, both in understanding (theory) and in practical application (through playing an instrument).  When these two areas are balanced and any misunderstandings are cleared up using a methodical approach. An individual learns to play well with good technique and confidence.  The student achieves the goals that he or she came for guitar lessons in the first place.
