Guitar and Piano Teacher David Waterman

GUITAR and PIANO

“Start now. Have fun. Take lessons. From me.”

A working musician, David teaches music because he loves to do it… and it lets him practice. A Beverly resident, David has been teaching for four years, two of them at World Music Company.

Dave Waterman is one of the most fun loving guitar and piano teachers at WMC. Dave’s weird and wonderful character is easily one of his best teaching tools. Ask anyone around WMC and they’ll tell you he has a knack of connecting with and reaching his younger students need for a fun and dynamic lesson each and every week. Dave also understands that some of his students need special encouragement to practice, “One student of mine gets a 5 minute karate lesson if he practices the week before.”

Drums and Percussion

“Get ready to practice. None of this is going to come easy, but if you work hard, you’ll love the results.”

Music is a mission for Logan, who has been teaching for 7 years. Why? “easy- to spread the passion,” he says. “The more people we have the world who have a true appreciation for music, the better off we are.”

A South Side resident, Logan joined the World Music Company faculty nearly three years ago. He has eclectic musical tastes- he likes funk, soul, jazz, hip hop, Latin , African, Indian, classical, and well, you get the idea.

Logan teaches private drum lessons as well as a Little Folkies class for aspiring young drummers.

One thing he looks forward to is the opportunity to challenge students with pieces that force them to raise the level of play. ” I have a student who entered a multi-city competetion inwhich she was to play the snare drum,” he says. “I gave her a piece which was clearly unusual for this type of competition. Instead of focusing only on technique, this main focus of the piece was musicality. She came back with a first-place medal.”
