The ability to create and enjoy music is a natural and biological trait inherent in all people. My Name is David Hillman and it's my pleasure to help you become the musical being you've always wanted to be. You'll be surprised to find out how much you already know about the simple elegant system that is music.
I have been playing the guitar for almost 30 years and teaching the guitar in the Seattle area since 1989. I've also taken hundreds and hundreds of private guitar and vocal lessons in my life and have a firm grasp on what it means to be both student and teacher. I always want my students to look forward to their lessons, even when they haven't practiced. Music should be fun and there is always something we can work on.
I design my lessons around each individual student and strive to keep the lessons light and enjoyable while also aiming for a high standard of education. Whether you are looking to play for pleasure at home, around the campfire, or want to learn practical music theory for composition and/or improvisation, I have instruction programs for all levels and styles from beginner to advanced and from ages 7 years on up.
Right now I'm offering a SPRING TIME Special for NEW STUDENTS: $75 for 4 half-hour lessons, a $45 discount. I am also offering discounts to students taking lessons in the early afternoons. It will serve as motivation for you to fulfill your pledge to dust off that guitar in the closet and learn how to play it in 2013.
Hillman Guitar Instruction has recently moved a very short distance to 2412 Westlake Ave N. suite 2A on Lake Union just north of Downtown Seattle. We are very excited about the new digs and think you will love learning to play the guitar down by the water.
