Huber Guitar Studio

Dave has been teaching my 8yr old twins for a little while now, and his level of patients is invaluable. He allows them to express themselves and ask questions. He has a special style all his own that works perfectly with children. It's been nothing short of a pleasure to know him and have him instruct my daughter's.

I started taking guitar lessons with David a little over a year ago and it's been a great experience for me as someone who's in his mid-50s and never played an instrument before. David is patient and always encouraging. I think without his patience and encouragement I might have given up by now. I am not the fastest learner but he is making it a fun experience and I would miss something without the twice-a-month guitar lessons. And most importantly, I see my progress and getting more and more comfortable playing as time goes by. Thank you, David, for sharing your talents with us as your students!

I've been taking lessons with Dave every other week for 11 months. I had played many years ago but was self taught. I was ready to learn how to play better and to have fun. Working with Dave is very enjoyable. He is patient, knowledgeable, and the lessons are fun. I would recommend Dave to everyone.

I have been taking lessons with Dave for 4 or 5 years now. I really appreciate his calm, laid-back approach to teaching and amazing breadth of musical knowledge. He has a gift for taking difficult skills and breaking them down to simple, achievable bites. My confidence in my guitar playing and singing has grown immensely since I have been working with him. I would highly recommend him to anyone of any style, but especially roots-oriented styles such as blues, bluegrass, folk, early jazz, etc.

David is a great music teacher. He taught me how to read music, apply music to the guitar, build chords from scratch, and how to play scales over the top of chords. Everything I had wanted to know about playing the guitar for the last 20 years he got me to understand and play in about 7 months time. I definitely recommend him!

I've been taking guitar lessons with Dave for over a year now and can't recommend him highly enough. He is patient and inspiring, and has been open to building lessons around my musical preferences. He has a calm and reassuring presence, which has helped to build my confidence.

I have been taking lessons from Dave for about 11 months. I came into the lessons with an acoustic guitar and not one ounce of music experience, and he is my first and only instructor. Dave was super patient and got me on the right track. He is an excellent instructor who possesses a wealth of knowledge, not only of the guitar, but also in music theory, music history, and other instruments.

Some other positive aspects of taking lessons from Dave: He will give you "drills" to practice, but always encourages playing music. That's what it is all about, right? He will also solo over my strumming which helps me get used to playing with others. Dave has a great ear for music and can help figure out chords for songs you might want to learn. Finally, Dave, being in a band himself, is well connected to the Baltimore music scene, and it's always a pleasure to talk with him for a couple of minutes about shows, bands, and other musicians in the city.

One more thing, and this is important to me; he is not a "clock watcher." Yes, lessons sometimes run over, and that shows his dedication to his students and his enjoyment of the craft.

I have been taking lessons with Dave for over a year now, and he is a very patient and knowledgeable teacher. He has a very flexible time schedule and it works perfectly for someone who is either working or in school since you can pick your time every week. He encourages trying out new songs and always has great feedback and knows some fun little tricks to make playing a little easier. I would recommend Dave to any of my friends and family who are looking to learn how to play guitar or improve their skills.

Probably more difficult than figuring out which guitar to buy when I decided to pick it up was deciding on a teacher. The internet is filled with many instructors with impressive credentials. What I noticed about Dave's website is that, unlike others who focused on what they know, Dave focused on how he would teach a student. There is that big, big difference between knowing something and teaching it, and Dave was focused on helping the student to learn.

I have been with Dave for two years this month and am very happy with my choice. Yes, of course he knows how to play, and knows this intricacy of the fretboard and that intricacy of theory. But anyone teaching should know those things anyway. What I like about Dave, and why I highly recommend him, is that he is interested in getting me to play that way, and will go over a piece, or even a measure, as many times as necessary to get me there. Thankfully, he not only knows how to teach, but also possesses that most important attribute for someone in the field: the patience of Job.

I've been taking weekly lessons with Dave for nearly two years now. When I started with him, I had love for music but no ability to play an instrument. With Dave's help I can now play guitar confidently; even to the point where I will jump in and play with more experienced friends. Dave's main strength I think is patience. I'm the sort of person who gets anxious performing / playing in front of others.

The fact that Dave created a space where I feel comfortable playing says a lot about him! Another thing I enjoy about lessons with Dave is that he'll take the time to help you learn to figure out how to play the songs you like. He has a great ear, and a lot of knowledge of music theory.

I love my lessons with Dave Huber. It took me a long time to find a teacher I as comfortable with as my first guitar teacher. Dave is patient, kind, clear, and so knowledgeable. He is great at showing me how to do things in different ways, until I get them. He can figure out any song I bring him and teach it to me, yet has the patience to wait peacefully as I fumble around. Dave knows when to push me and when to ease up. I would recommend Dave to any guitar player of all levels.

Dave is a great teacher who is able to tailor lessons to my skill level. He has a deep understanding of music theory and knows many styles of music, including Jazz, Blues, Country, Folk, and Rock.
