Hi, I’m Dr. Dave.

I've been instructing people in the musical arts in the Private, Media, Business, Collegiate, and Educational sector for 25+ years. I've had the pleasure of traveling to over 17 countries and 48 of the 50 states to train bands and musicians to improve in a variety of ways. 

Now I'm excited to teach you!!!

I also want you to know How Much Money This Course Will Save You ... This concentrated video series teaches you skills that take the normal student in private one-on-one sessions 8-months to a year to complete.

Prerequisites: We recommend that you are able to perform all the melodic movements and understand all the theory given in our 5-Fret Alphabet course along with understanding the ideas of other songwriter’s in our Fragments: Becoming a Musical Archaeologist training before attempting this course.
