WHAT PEOPLE SAY

"I started working with Dave when I joined the church choir about 15 years ago. His mentorship has helped me graduate to the worship team. Both Dave and Jen have helped me to develop better vocals, and a better understanding of music theory and performance.

I started taking guitar lessons with Dave and piano with Jen. Their lessons have helped me become a better player. They are both very positive and encouraging, which helps a lot when you are trying to grasp something new. They find different ways of explaining things to better help you understand the material. 

I highly recommend working with Startsong Studio!"
