Teaching Testimonials

Shane is simply the best! I’ve been with Shane now for 2+ years and it feels like it’s been 5
minutes. I can’t wait for our next session! He is encouraging, dependable, personable,
dedicated, caring, fun, lively, relaxed, and non-judgmental. He takes a personal interest in your development. I’m not sure I could “dream-up” a better instructor. I’ve seen him at recitals with other students and he is terrific with younger students. He teaches all ages (I should know: I’m 65!). In addition to being a great instructor, Shane is a touring musician with the band Buffalo Rose. He is an excellent song writer, singer, guitar and piano player. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to advance their musical journey! - Jim H.

​

Working with Shane has been the best experience. I am a singer-songwriter who later in life wanted to start to sing and play my own songs and relearn piano from when I was in 7th grade. It has been such a pleasure to work with Shane. His patience, creativity, and guidance have been so important to me in my development as an artist. He is not only a great piano teacher but a great mentor for performance and songwriting. I feel like it's collaboration as much as teaching. Shane really takes the time to understand your goals and goes above and beyond to help you reach them. - Michelle
