Letters of Recommendation

​“I am writing this letter of recommendation for one of the best guitar clinicians that I’ve ever worked with…my students enjoy the seminars and are motivated to practice. The pace of the seminars and the depth of the material are adjusted for each level of students taught. My first year guitarists and my advanced guitarists are equally motivated. I strongly recommend Dave MacKenzie for any performance or teaching seminar.”

​Dr. James H. Satterwhite
Director of Guitar Studies, Nashville School of the Arts
 
Coordinator of Guitar Instruction, Metropolitan Nashville Schools

​“Mr. MacKenzie is a versatile musician and has a great knowledge of American Popular Music. He is able to make connections between different musical genres and illustrate those connections through performance.  His honest and straightforward approach puts visitors at ease to interact and ask questions. All these factors combine to create an educational program that is informative and engaging. 
 
I have received nothing but good responses from Mr. MacKenzie’s presentations.”

​Elizabeth Hansen
Public Programs Coordinator,
Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum

“Dave has been part of our educational programming since it’s inception…His knowledge theory, technique and history is extraordinary. That knowledge, combined with a professional approach to teaching and an ability to connect with students of varying ages, makes him a very effective workshop or class instructor.
 
Students of all ages consistently respond to his combination of humor, knowledge and practical demonstration and leave his workshops with a new appreciation of music…”
