Students' Feedback
"I found the one to one lessons very helpful as they allowed
me to go at my own speed and not at the speed of others which is what I have
found to be the case in past group lessons." -Colin Stuttard
"I was deeply impressed during my time studying with David.
From the initial contact, help in finding us a good apartment, meeting us in
Jerez and showing us around that wonderful city, going to Seville to buy a flamenco
guitar, to the course itself which was a real delight. The traditional way of
teaching initially came as a shock to a guitarist raised on pieces of paper,
the directness and reliance on instinct and insight kept me on my toes. The
backdrop of Jerez was perfect. I would work on the pieces studied in the lesson,
and then go out and hear the Viernes Flamenco concerts. Every week I felt a
little closer to the events. Flamenco is an occasion, not to be observed but
to be a part of. I look forward to returning to Jerez." -Neil Preston
"You get what you pay for. You go home with a lot of material
to work with. Good communication, easy to get in touch with when you have questions
about the lessons, accommodation, Jerez in general. Very nice, clean, private
accommodations at a good price. Lessons are a solid 2 hours per day, professional,
yet relaxed atmosphere at his home in Jerez. Patient with students, however
does not hesitate to tell you when you are doing something wrong and works to
improve weaknesses. I came away feeling much more confident about my playing."
-Bob Wheatley
“I have been a guitar teacher for many years, and I have
never met such a devoted, honest and passionate teacher as David. It's amazing
to watch him deal with guitar students from different countries and help them
feel comfortable with flamenco and move forward. Gracias David!”
-Miguel Pozo
“My weeks with David in Jerez transformed my feeling for
the guitar. He teaches the way he learned, face to face, guitar to guitar. Solea,
seguiriya, alegria and fandango were on my menu, and as much as I learned about
the first three, it was his tips on how fandango and its accompaniment work
which stand out in my memory. Nowhere else have I heard this explained. If you
can afford the time and you love flamenco or just plain guitar, do it.”
-George Lang
