Channels the artistry of performance and applies it to teaching
"Shannon is a gifted teacher and one of the best live piano players I’ve seen. His unique talent for channeling the artistry of his performance and applying it to teaching sets him apart. His lessons are tailored to each student, and careful practice brings measured progress each week. With Shannon, students can play piano and have a good time as a new world of music opens before them."

Strikes a good balance between difficult things that build skill and fun lighter things that keep you motivated
"Nothing but good things to say about Shannon as a teacher. He teaches me and my son piano, and does a great job of tailoring the lessons to our different skill levels. He makes learning the piano very fun and motivating, and strikes a good balance between difficult things that build skill, and fun lighter things that keep you motivated and going. With all the different skill levels he teaches, I often find myself impressed when a lesson starts and he just jumps in where we left off without skipping a beat, and our lessons are very personalized. Always very responsive and flexible when communicating schedule changes or make-up sessions (if we are out of town for one)."

Very versatile in his style…learning more because he is a working professional musician
"As an adult looking for beginner lessons I was a bit nervous at first but I’m very happy that I found Shannon. He is easy to work with and keeps my lessons interesting so that I’m continuously progressing. He’s very versatile in his style and I believe I’m learning more from him because he is a working professional musician. If you are looking for piano lessons I highly recommend checking him out!"

Created a lesson plan to fit my needs…obviously passionate about teaching
"I am a music major on break for the summer. Shannon heard what I wanted from my lessons and helped create a customized lesson plan to fit my needs. He is very obviously passionate about teaching, and maintained an open dialogue such that I was able to ask questions and receive fleshed out answers. I have had very unmotivated and non-personalized music teachers in the past, and I was ecstatic to find that Shannon was neither of those things."
