David Kraus: Lessons & Bookings

Professional  Instruction  for  Guitar
Acoustic & Electric

Return to Chronicles
Classical Jazz World
Theory & Composition


Private lessons are available four days each week Mondays through Thursdays
at my home studio in Montpelier, ideally located for walking and driving.
Lessons are scheduled on Mondays from 11:00am until 8:00pm for students
needing more flexibility, and 2:00pm until 7:00pm on all other days.
All lessons are one full hour unless more time is requested, and are given on a
weekly or bi-monthly basis. My instruction fee is $50.00 per lesson hour.
I am agreeable to rescheduling a lesson time when the need arises (many
teachers are not flexible.) We all have unavoidable situations come up.
When in the event a student cannot re-arrange their time, a $25.00 fee will be
assessed for the hour missed and is due on the following lesson date.
An acoustic nylon string classical guitar is recommended and preferred, but
a nice steel string would be acceptable if a nylon is not accessible.
I perform on both electric and acoustic guitars, and teach both. Experience has
taught me that an acoustic is more beneficial to learning and practicing.
To set up lesson times or if you have any questions concerning study I can be
reached through the information provided on the Contact page.
For samples of my guitar playing and music styles go to Chronicles. There are
are quite a few pieces both acoustic and electric to be heard
including classical, jazz, and pop.

"David's teaching success lies in encouraging students to find their own passion for music. His method is clear and thorough, giving me the tools to become a versatile and complete musician. In six years under his guidance I was chosen two years as highschool All State Jazz Guitarist, played a classical recital as part of my highschool's graduation concert, and began performing in public. I just graduated from City College in New York and am playing professionally."
