HERE IS WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT US:
"So many teachers are simply self-trained music enthusiast but they lack direction and organization. David has the full package. He is professionally trained in the skill and the theory. He’s organized in each lesson with a strong attention to details. He’s not rushing through the lesson but he also keeps a lesson moving along. We’ve been very pleased with the progress and all three of our kids adore him!" - Kennan Court (Mother of 3 students)
“I highly recommend David for guitar lessons! He has been a wonderful teacher for our son!” – Isa Mecono, Mother of 9 year old student.
“My 7 year old has been taking lessons with David for 8 months. David is professional, has great patience and tailors the lessons to our needs. I highly recommend him.” – Jennifer Reif, Mother of 7 year old student.
“The Lessons are coolio! Dave makes the lessons easy and fun. I have a great time and after lessons I feel like going home and playing my guitar all night long!” – Morgan McCurry, Age 12.
“Dave gives instructions that are both interesting and memorable. While giving much needed repetition in the lessons he changes the way the same chords are played so it doesn’t get boring” – Jennifer Butzke (Adult)
“Dave is a great teacher. I am learning a lot of new cool stuff!” – Chad Ridenour, Age 12.
“Dave makes learning guitar fun by teaching new skills while playing great songs. He is very knowledgeable about music theory, and slips some theory into lessons as appropriate with songs that we are working on. He is very patient, and moves as fast or slow as necessary.” – Mike Haden (Adult)
“I have been to several guitar instructors in my life and Dave is far and away the best. His friendly approach and student-centered teaching allowed me to become a much better guitar player than I ever thought possible. I would recommend him to anyone at any level. After struggling through the same clumsy chords on my own for literally 10 years without ever making any real progress I turned to Dave based on the recommendation of a friend. Within just a few lessons I was able to not only play some new songs but, more importantly, understand what makes a song a song. Dave has not only deep theoretical knowledge of the material but is an expert at implementing that and I can promise you if you trust him with your time he will make you into a much, much better guitar player. – Brian Greenaway (Adult)
"David is a talented and enthusiastic musician! He is professionally trained, and great with kids. I recommend him for anyone wanting to learn guitar or wanting to improve their technique" - Stephanie Haq (Adult)
“Dave is teaching our son Alden more then guitar, he is helping him develop an appreciation for music! Dave is by far the best instructor our son has had. We are very thankful for his style of teaching.” - Jim Strafford (Parent of student)
"I heartily recommend Dave Haq as a guitar teacher. He is a very accomplished guitarist himself, loves his craft and has a passion for teaching others!" - Reed Jolley (Adult, Pastor)
"Dave is an excellent instructor with a loyal student following. He was formally educated at the Musician's Institute, and offers well rounded guitar instruction to his students. In the 11 years I have known Dave, he has run his business with a high level of integrity and professionalism." - Sheri Griffiths (Adult)
"Dave's knowledge of guitar and music theory is staggering and I would recommend him to people picking up a guitar for the first time, or experienced players trying to nail the perfect solo. What he doesn't know, he will learn, and Dave will teach you long lasting lessons, rather than simply providing you with the technical details. He is easy to work with and structures his teachings to go at your pace. I highly recommend Anvil Guitar Instruction to anyone interested in learning guitar." - Patrick Maxwell (Adult)
“I don't know David as a guitar teacher, I know him as a guitarist for hire. I have worked with David many times with the Smoothtones, a working band that plays in the Southern California area. I find David to be very professional and alert on what's going on with the other musicians in regards to playing their arrangements. He has a great guitar tone and learns songs very quickly. He is also very easy to work with, which in this business is a must. I’m hoping to be working with David more in the near future.” - Barry Birmingham (Professional Drummer & Co-Owner of SB Drum Lab)
"Dave has a friendly, personable teaching style that is easy to follow. As a musician he has interesting and cool ideas that have a raw quality that I think is really awesome." - Joel Patterson (Director of Music & Worship at Westmont College)
