David Head ~ Guitarist

   I began playing guitar at the age of 5. Making a living playing music full-time in 1974 playing in rock, blues and original bands as well as jazz ensembles and solo guitar playing.  I have studied with renown classical guitarists Christopher Parkening, David Russell and Steven Novacek. Began as an instructor full-time at Bandwagon Music in Redmond in 1980 save for a hiatus in 1985/86 where I worked at Alex Music in New York City. Beginning in 2000 continued as full-time instructor at Mills Music in Redmond until 2015.
   2015 began at The Music Haven music studios where we offer lessons in a multitude of instruments.
​  My students are young kids, teens, adults and professionals from all walks of life.  Learn your favorite songs, reading music, ear training, music theory, songwriting and performance. Discover why many of the area's guitar teachers are my former students.
