  • A Wonderful Singing Teacher

  • Sean is a Wonderful Teacher

    "My 8 year old has been doing Ukulele lesson's for about 3 months here. Her skill level has advanced so much in such a short amount of time. Sean is a wonderful teacher. He is very patient with her, when she decides to jam out on her own. He know's how to communicate with young kids in a way that they will understand. He has also taken the time to show us some of the other instruments in his collection! He has offered so much to our lives, more than just music. This is such a treasure to find in our little community. He has decades of music and teaching experience and it shows!!!"

  • Very Kind and Mellow... a Great Teacher

    "Taking lessons with Sean has been fantastic. He is very kind and mellow, but also pushes enough to show that he has faith that you can get better! He's a great teacher. I can not believe how serviceable my playing has gotten in just a couple of months! I tried for years to just pick it up on my own and never got past a few basic chords. Over these weeks the guitar has made more sense to me and I am able to have a lot of fun with my voice, playing and singing songs I love. Just great!! Highly recommend."

  • Patient. Kind. Easy to understand.

    "I had a music blockage, and what I had learned was all I was ever going to learn.


    I have only had 3 classes with Sean and I'm opening up musically in ways I was never able to on my own.   If you love to play guitar, take classes and see how much Sean can help you understand that part of the music you didn't understand.


    If you are self-taught and like in-person learning over online, Sean's course of education is worth every dime.


    Patient. Kind. Easy to understand.  Easy to listen to. Bring Sean your guitar or voice, you won't regret it."

  • I Recommend Sean to Anyone Wanting to Grow as a Musician, Vocalist, or Songwriter.

    " I would have never believed that I, as a beginner, would be able to do any of these things I thought were reserved for "real" musicians who had been studying all their lives or had gone to music school. I'm glad to have found Sean because he has given me the skill set and the mindset shift to become a multi-faceted musician without waiting around till I was "good enough" or had "enough of a foundation" in music. I recommend Sean to anyone wanting to grow as a musician, vocalist, or songwriter."
