If you live in Philadelphia and are looking to find a guitar teacher, take a moment to learn why David Joel is the best when it comes to guitar lessons.

Great guitar teachers don’t jump right into Easy-Methods Play Guitar in 10 Days concepts. They simply don’t. Why? Because you would miss the elements that are essential to learning guitar properly. If it is in your heart to become a quality guitar player and a competent musician, you will need to find the right guitar teacher who will teach you the proper methods and make guitar lessons fun and interesting. While there is a plethora of information on the Internet in the form of downloads and streaming video, DVD lessons purchased from infomercials on television, or even learning a few power chords from friends, the D.I.Y. approach to learning is often frustrating, difficult and challenging. A qualified guitar teacher will by-pass the wrong information and show you the right techniques. When you make a mistake, it will be explained and corrected. All of your questions will be answered. Even if you have modest goals and just want to play some tunes at a party with friends, the right guitar teacher will teach you the right way. That teacher is David Joel.

If you live in Northeast Philadelphia or nearby, David keeps a guitar studio where has taught students of all ages for decades. With more than a quarter century of teaching behind him, David Joel always find the time for new students. He has a Bachelor of Music Degree from Berklee College of Music and is a former faculty member of Berklee. His accomplishments also include Master of Music from New England Conservatory. A Composer, Director and Founder of the David Joel Quartet, David has enjoyed performing at various area clubs and venues including: Chris’ Jazz Cafe, Ortliebs Jazzhaus, Fergie’s Pub , The Temperance House, John and Peter’s from Boston to D.C. and of course, Philadelphia.

A great guitar teacher will not only teach you how to play well technically, but will teach you music theory and concepts that work behind the scenes that aid in helping you get a better understanding of playing and executing the techniques that will make you a good guitarist. A great guitar teacher is also passionate about teaching and playing and cares about the students. Passion includes a certain strictness or toughness that is necessary to keep a student focused on their studies. Sometimes you learn the most from the toughest teachers. Passion also means understanding the student’s wants and needs and areas of concern. Building confidences and inspiring the student to explore learning on their own adds growth and progress not only as a guitar player, but a musician.

Motivation is another factor that a great guitar teacher will generate. Practice will not be boring and mundane like doing the typical homework assignment when in school. Guitar lessons shouldn’t be just educational, they should be fun as well. When you enjoy something, you learn quicker. When you learn quicker you graduate to the next level sooner rather than later. And before you even realize it, you’re playing guitar for friends and family and you sound good!
