Author Biography
David Bolton - Musician (harpsichordist, clavichordist, pianist), language teacher, writer, and astrologer - taught piano in Kassel, Germany, and also co-founded the "Musikschule Wilhelmshöhe" in the early 1980s. While living in Madrid, Spain in the 90s, he gave many recitals, both as a soloist and an accompanist. David's interest in self-improvement techniques has led him into fields such as hypnosis, and the power of suggestion. David's belief in good planning and consistent effort, as well as the use of innovative ideas to further the learning process, has had a strong influence on the methods he employs to teach music, as well as other subjects.
