About David
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have been playing guitar for 25 years and have gained experience in playing many different genres of music from classical duos I'm weddings and corporate events, solo performer to playing in 5 piece rockabilly bands to playing bass in Bluesideout. I have been teaching in schools across Cheshire with Music For Life.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
yes
- Where and with whom did you train?
On the guitar I began my lessons with Mr Stephen Caswell where I learned musicianship skills, sight reading, accompaniment skills, duet lessons. At Stoke College my training was with John Lambert which also included duet and group work, enhanced guitar technique and developed in different styles including flamenco, jazz and spannish guitar to an advanced level. Also I studied with various teachers in masterclasses and musicianship as well.
- Do you belong to any professional organisations?
I'm registered with The Registry of Guitar Tutors and the Musicians Union
- Tell me about some of your current students.
My students are ranging from beginners up to Grade 8 standard. They learn in a combination of classical and acoustic style but some of my students prefer to learn in a more modern style and are learning to play some current music in the charts. I always ensure that pupils choose the route they are most suited to pursuing.

Hi, I'm David Dove and I would love to share my passion for Guitar and Music Teaching with anybody who has the desire to learn. I am looking for keen pupils, learners and musicians who require tuition of the very highest level.

- Tell me about your qualifications.
My career started at a young age and studied with Stephen Caswell on Classical Guitar at the very highest level achieving my Grade 8. Over the next two years I studied at Stoke College gaining a HND in Performing Arts (Music). Since then I have developed my technique and performance studying to a ALCM standard.

- Which ages and levels do you teach?
My pupils learn Guitar to a very high level from ages four up to adult learners. My pupils have excellent technique which is something I expect from my pupils from a very young age. They learn all round music skills through a variety of games and activities which make each aspect of learning fast pace and fun whilst gaining each of the fundamental skills needed for playing the guitar. I have developed a style of teaching which can be adapted to the learner but I have extremely high expectations and encourage pupils to practice regularly and to achieve their full potential. My two most recent examination candidates both achieved distinctions through Rockschool and LCM.
- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
I can prepare students for
London College of Music in Acoustic Guitar ,
Rockschool in Electric Guitar

- Do you have a personal message for students?
I welcome any ability and age to try something new or alternatively, continue with something they are passionate about. I can teach music to the highest level and am extremely keen to pass on my knowledge of Music and the Performing Arts in general. Please feel free to contact me if you require further information about the learning of an instrument or musical skills.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
He showed enthusiasm and sensitivity when working with young people, as well as clear musical skills on guitar and bass. It is nice to see when good musicians put their own need to play second to the job of encouraging and helping others, which Dave did consistently throughout the day. He worked as a team member and was friendly and helpful, a pleasure to work with.
Dave takes the time to find out what and how the children like to learn and adapts his lessons to meet their needs. If the children request to learn a certain piece or style of music Dave will happily oblige as he likes to keep the lessons relevant to them. Dave keeps the teaching sessions relaxed and happy which helps to keep the children focused and enthusiastic.
I would highly recommend him to any future employer.He has guided me through four Registry Of Guitar Tutors Acoustic Guitar Exams, Which have included Initial stage, Preliminary Grade and Acoustic Guitar Grade 1 and Grade 2 all of which were past with Distinction. These grades were achieved by the time and patience Dave puts into my guitar lessons and the confidence he gives me ( currently he is helping me with Acoustic Guitar Grade 3. )
Dave displayed, not only his own considerable musical proficiency on the guitar, but also his ability to work creatively, helpfully and sympathetically with participants with little, or in some cases, no practical musical experience. His approach at all times is warm, friendly and patiently instructive. Dave is honest, helpful and caring.
I would definitely recommend Dave to anyone, group, school etc who is looking for a guitar teacher, I have come on in leaps and bounds since Dave has been teaching me. I have grown in confidence the most
So I would not hesitate to recommend Dave to anyone and would be pleased to talk to any prospective student.View more recommendations
