Madonna’s teenage son, David Banda, has taken on the role of a guitar teacher, charging £155 per lesson for his 60-minute one-on-one classes on Zoom. The 18-year-old launched this venture to make money after his mother completed her Celebration Tour, during which he joined her on stage every night as a guitarist and dancer. David’s classes, which he started this week and plans to continue until at least mid-September, require students to book a minimum of five lessons at a cost of £775. In his description of the classes, he encourages participants to wear their nightwear and emphasizes that mistakes are welcomed, stating, “Mistakes? They’re just unexpected solos! So let’s strum, hum, and strum some more in this virtual musical journey where all levels are welcome and fun is the name of the game.” David had previously pursued a career in football, prompting Madonna to move the family to Lisbon in 2017 for his training at the Benfica youth academy. However, they returned to the US after he decided to focus on music instead.

He has launched the venture to make money after his superstar mum, who is worth £650m, completed her Celebration Tour.
The youngster had joined her on stage every night as a guitarist and dancer.
In a post about his sessions, David said: “Welcome to my online guitar class where everyone, from beginners navigating their first chords to experienced musicians honing their craft, gather for a fun-filled jam session!”
He launched his classes this week and is planning to teach until at least mid-September.
But fledgling musicians will have to hand over £775 before even playing a note, as he insists people book a minimum of five lessons.
In a description of what he offers, he urges customers to wear their nightwear for their classes and insists mistakes are encouraged.
He wrote: “Grab your guitar (pyjamas optional but recommended), and join me as we explore the wonderful world of chords, scales and everything in between.
