Write a ReviewShawn is very well informed on music theory. I have had discussions with him on numerous occasions, quite enlightening.
He is a very patient teacher and really goes the extra mile when it comes to explaining things I'm having trouble with.
My daughter became interested in playing the bass guitar after seeing a friend perform in the Jazz Band concert at her school. After asking around, Shawn came highly recommended. He was nice, knowledgeable, dedicated to teaching and I was impressed with how kept my daughter engaged and motivated. He is someone I recommend highly.
