Damian.
This is an amazing opportunity for Matej and he is very excited about it!
He is very inspired by your talent. It is great to see him pick up the guitar and go to town with the things he learns from you! Taking on the challenge of learning an instrument, expecially learning it well, takes a lot of dedication and hard work. There is just something about you, probably your fantastic sense of humor, that makes Matej really look forward to his lessons! Learning should be about using the God given talents we have within to spread the word. It's people like you who show us that we shouldn't be afraid to let it all out. We always look forward to what you have in store for us at the next lesson....and you never dissapoint!

A personal letter from me to Damian:
"That lesson was AMAZING!!!!! It was all the reasons I loved you from the very start...you see the potential for someone to push beyond their comfort zone and then you take them there in a safe fun way! I loved the way you pushed Mathew to reach beyond and did not make him feel bad about himself. I LOVED that you noticed he was playing a bit quiet at the end and took the time to ask why, even though you were running over time. I LOVED that he LOVED the lesson and was inspired. I loved that he felt safe to say to you, this is hard for me or I need help or I do not get it. I love that you know somehow when he says I do not know how...and you know which times he means it and which times he is faking you out. I love that you play along with him, it makes him feel like he is doing a good job and that you want to be a part of it. I love that you are funny, silly, serious and caring! You are the best!"

We had no idea that music lessons could be so much fun! Damian is inspiring and encouraging and he is gifted at explaining music concepts to the kids in a way that they can grasp. I have been amazed at his ability to co-ordinate all four of our kids to play together so quickly. They love it when he jumps in to participate in playing with them too. He has such a range of talent to teach Keyboards, Guitar, Trumpet and Drums. I have never met such an excellent model of what it is to pursue the love of music passionately. We love you Damian!

I have taken other lessons, but by far, Damian is the best!

Damian has been my guitar teacher for a few years now and he is great. He is equally at home doing worship tunes as 'rockin it out' to Van Halen or groovin' the blues.
He is also fantastic with children and my 2 girls (4 and 7) just love him. Guitar, piano, drums, trumpet you name it - he is the best!!

I have been working with Damian on the piano only 2 months and I am amazed at how far I have come, He helps me project confidence and pride in my playing ability and his teaching style puts me at ease; making the learning process fun and productive, I look forward to my lessons and practicing.
Thanks Damian

Damian has the ability to meet a student right where they are at and build their abilities and confidence from there. He is always spot on and full on energy. I do enjoy him teaching my family

After many times over 40 years to learn to play guitar I took lessons with Damian Spaulding. He immediately turned my doubts into strategies. I can’t believe how quickly I’m learning both Blues and Folk.

Damian has a lot of energy and a teaching style that keeps my son wanting to come back. He looks forward to their time together and learns the drums because Damian makes it exciting. Damian is fun and is full of praise and encouragement. My son looks forward to learning other instruments with Damian

I've been playing guitar for almost 3 years and Damian's been my teacher for the past 3 months. I've grown and improved more since Damian started teaching me than I have in all the other years I've been playing guitar. Damian pushes me to do better, work hard and try new things. He's always happy. He gets so excited about what I'm learning and about what God is doing in my life. He makes me want to play guitar even more! He stretches me in my playing, singing, and song-writing. I thank God almost everyday for giving me such a rockin' awesome teacher! Damian is the best everrrrrr!

Basically the only reason I like piano is because Damian teaches it. Any other teacher would be strict and say “Press the piano keys harder!! I don’t care if you get pimples”. Damian would say something like I’ll ill poke you or somthing fun. Damian is so much fun I can’t explain

Defiantly a superb teaching style based around what the student actually wants to learn. I found that there were layers of guitar that were opened up to me that I never understood before. That mixed with Damian's fun personality mad the lessons & the learning flippin grate. Highly recommended!
