| David Martin began playing guitar at the age
of 11. Initially concentrating on rock and pop music, he quickly
formed local garage and basement bands with friends, and played his
first bar gig at the age of 14. David continued his studies at the
Royal Conservatory of Music in Classical Guitar and Harmony, and
later majored in Composition and Performance at Boston's Berklee College
of Music where he was the recipient of Berklee's 1991 Achievement Scholarship.
David currently writes and performs music for solo acoustic and classical
guitar which features a strong emphasis on fingerstyle techniques and various
altered tunings.
David Teaches in a relaxed atmosphere and likes to tailor
lessons to each student's goals and individual musical interests.
A primary focus on the fundamentals of music, as well as "what the
student enjoys about playing the guitar" are at the core of his approach.
Lessons can range from advanced harmony and composition techniques,
to the latest hit songs on the radio, to a beginner's first chords
and anything between! |
