My teaching approach :

Hear it from my student: Damon brings music to life, even for the beginning student. He pulls in multiple instruments and types of music to get - and keep - kids engaged. He then builds the fundamentals and steadily challenges them to push past their limits. Having worked with a number of music teachers, I would rate Damon Wade as far above average. If he has a spot for your child, take it! --Trish C.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following

At the beginning of a lesson we do a quick recap of last weeks lesson and then continue on building the neccessary skills to reaching our goals. I finish the lesson by giving a small amount of homework to work on during practice time.

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following

Establish goals for each student and set up a specific plan to meet them within a given time frame

The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following

The worst kept secret to learning how to play an instrument is to PRACTICE! I do my best to make learning music fun. Real progress is attained through consistent practice.

Guitar lessons typically take place on these days and hours:

Monday thru Friday 2pm-8pm Sat 9am-1pm

My influences are:

Damon recalls, “Early on I knew who Robert Johnson was and listened to his music, but I didn’t quite understand it. It wasn’t until I discovered Skip James and listened, practiced and learned over and over again that the light bulb finally lit. That’s when I completely fell in love with this musical style. It’s simple, yet complex; both raw and strong, like a Jimi Hendrix solo; yet tender and weeping. Man it just gave me goose bumps and still does. I thought to myself, ‘I have just discovered the holy grail of American music.’”
