“My
skills have grown enormously in the six months we’ve been working
together. He always takes ample time to make sure I master difficult
concepts, and allows me to learn at my own pace. He is very interactive
in our sessions, and I always look forward to my time with him.”

recommended Russ, and I’ve found that he not only has a unique,
productive teaching method, but also incorporates music theory into
real life applications.”

the ability to convey the joy of a subject that makes a good teacher.
Add to that a true expertise, plus enthusiasm and the ability to
communicate clearly, and you can begin to understand what kind of a
teacher Russ Davis is.”
