He has a degree in jazz, popular and commercial music performance, a masters degree in music composition, grade 8 on electric guitar, and is an associate performer of nationwide music examinations (APNME) His pupils have had a lot of personal success musically, with past pupils going on to become session musicians, going to university to study music, or some of which who simply view guitar playing as a hobby which they enjoy and want to become better at. Recently, one of David's pupils; George Griffiths achieved a grade 8 distinction on the London College of Music acoustic guitar grade exams. George still continues lessons with David as he enjoys them so much, and is presently studying towards the Trinity board Grade 6 in Electric guitar. The studio facilities at Hyperbright studios offer a perfect environment for teaching the guitar. Dave's philosophy to teaching the guitar is that it should be a multimedia and multi-sensory experience that is tailored to the learning style of the individual pupil. Some students like to learn by playing to backing tracks of the songs which they are learning, and for that, we have an outstanding Genelec 2.1 sound system consisting of a pair of genelec 8330a's and a 7050b subwoofer, played though RME audio conversion on a top of the range Apple iMac, running Amplitube 4. This allows you to play to your favourite backing tracks, slow down sections to focus on certain lead lines, all through one of a massive library of guitar amplifiers and effects. However, if you don't like amplifier simulators, we also have you covered, in the form of a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe tube amp, or a Marshall DSL 40C, for the best of tube amp tone loveliness. If you want to be a bit more old school and learn acoustic guitar, we also have you covered, with a few acoustic guitars lying around at all times, and a wonderful acoustically treated room which makes pretty much anything sound amazing. We also have a fully stocked up library of guitar tuition books, with well structured lessons tailored to a wide variety of guitar styles. If you want to be entered into guitar grade exams, then there are a huge amount of pathways available which are suited to what ever your learning need or your desired skill development. Right now, we are preparing pupils for Guitar Exams with Trinity College of music, London College of music and RSL Rockschool exams. All of which can result in UCAS points if you pass an exam between grade 6 and 8, and can help massively with university applications, as universities love prospective students who take part in extra curricular activities within music.
