What People Are Saying

“We have known Shane and worked with him for a number of years.  He has been our music teacher and has become our friend; he is an inspiration to us.  He is diligent, methodical and creative with teaching solutions, patient and gifted with people skills.  He is able to recognize where people are and move them forward.  He is non-judgmental in his teaching and his approach to life.  He is honest, punctual, responsible to his commitments and pleasant to be around.

  -Jane Yagoda and Henry Swayze

“Shane has been teaching guitar lessons to my 11-year old daughter, Allison, for only a few months, but has made a huge impression on our family.  Allison has had an interest in learning to play the guitar, but can be a bit shy and nervous about learning new things.  Shane has been an amazing instructor and confidence builder for our daughter as she learns the “language” of guitar which is foreign to her.  He is accomplished, yet humble.  Shane has a quiet way of making Allison feel very comfortable with learning this new craft.  She is very at ease with asking questions of him and is progressing at a surprisingly rapid rate.  My whole family could not be more pleased, and feel very fortunate to have Shane as Allison’s instructor.  He is expertly building a foundation for Allison to love the guitar her entire life.”
