My Philosophy by David Hauser

My philosophy is to provide my clients and students high quality tuning, repair, and instruction so they may enjoy music to their full capability.

Because of the way I teach, my students' parents tell me that their performance and grades improve in all areas, not just in band. I teach them to focus, to pay attention to detail, and to achieve perfection through repetition. I insist that they not give any less than their best. Mediocrity is never acceptable. I have also had success with students who have ADD and bipolar illness using my methods.

This all applies to me as well in repair and tuning. I know that musicians at any level need their instruments repaired quickly and well. I work by appointment, and many repairs can be done while the customer waits. Larger jobs, such as overhauls, may take two to three days, but are always done much more quickly than at the local music stores.
