"David White fixed my game in one hour — seriously. I came in with a nasty over-the-top move that killed my irons. He spotted it in two swings, gave me one feel and one drill, and I started flushing it immediately. No jargon, no band-aids, just permanent change. I’ve taken lessons from PGA pros all over Florida and nobody comes close to David’s clarity and results. Worth every penny and the drive from Miami.” — Alex M., 6-handicap, Coral Gables

I began my guitar journey at the very end of 1989, learning from a Mel Bay book before starting formal lessons. Over the years, I've explored rock, blues, jazz, fingerstyle, and classical guitar. In 2001, I completed my undergraduate studies with a minor in music, and although I majored in computer science, I found myself teaching guitar during a downturn in the tech industry. Inspired by a faculty recital at Berklee College of Music in 2002, I pursued an advanced degree in music, earning a Master of Music degree from Butler University in 2006. During my graduate studies, I also taught guitar at Ball State University as a graduate assistant in the Doctor of Arts program. I've lectured on the history of guitar, composed music for various instruments, performed nationwide, and taught hundreds of students across all guitar styles.

"Jill was very supportive of all ability levels. She amazed me by knowing my name and giving me positive reinforcement along with her regular students. Her class was challenging, yet she provided accommodations for any students who may have found some poses too difficult. I hope to try many more classes at invoke, but I will definitely make every effort to attend Jill's class on Wednesday evenings. -MINDBODY FitGrid feedback
