I've been taking lessons with Will for over a year now, and I can honestly say it's been one of the…read morebest decisions I've made. From the very beginning, Will asked what type of music I actually wanted to learn, and that made all the difference. It never felt like a one-size-fits-all experience; it felt personal. Will is incredibly patient, the kind of teacher who never makes you feel rushed or discouraged, no matter where you are in your learning journey. And watching him play? It's an absolute joy. There's something truly inspiring about learning from someone who clearly loves what they do. One thing I truly can't stress enough is how much he emphasizes proper hand positioning. It might seem like a small detail, but it makes a world of difference, and Will makes sure you get it right from the start. By the end of my first year, I had grown confident enough to perform in my very first recital. I've stood in front of people before through my career, but picking up a guitar and performing was a completely different experience, and Will's guidance is what got me there. If you're looking for a guitar teacher who is patient, personable, and genuinely invested in your progress, Will is your guy. Highly recommended! Thanks Appolllo

I highly recommend Will. He teaches guitar both online via Zoom and at his current location in the…read moreSacramento area. With Will's very effective Zoom lessons, you can take lessons from anywhere!! I have been taking acoustic guitar lessons via Zoom with Will for 3 years. I previously dealt with many music instructors for my kids, and I wish I had found Will when they were doing lessons. Will is the most patient and excellent instructor, and there is always an important and significant purpose and goal to what he is teaching. He is very experienced both academically and practically. He also teaches me vocal accompaniment and music theory. The Zoom lessons actually work extremely well and I have not found the need to have the lessons in person. I bought a nice Blue Yeti microphone for my laptop for higher sound quality for the listener when I am playing via Zoom.

I've owned MESA BOOGIE DUAL RECTIFIERS 2 channel Reversion F's and now Rev. D which is super rare…read more(*serial #R0264 for those in the know) and really thinking at first I should ONLY take my amp to MESA and have Mike work on it (who actually built mine in '92) but I tried Tube Sonic out. Now I'm not a touring rock star but have been playing for 35 years and have to say Shane took my amp that was really f-'d up and made it sound better than any amp I've ever played. I don't lean heavy on what the distortion can put out on this amp but there were serious issues going on which pots, legs of things I forget what the hell they were called but all the power tubes, rectifier tubes as well as a couple pre-amp tubes even some other diodes or whatever had to be all worked on or replaced. I paid the $75 in the door fee (standard anywhere) to look at it which was applied to the end total all that for $375 which anyone who knows amps knows that is a screaming good deal. It took about 3 weeks and of course there were delays after he got into in being the amp was sick and ordering tubes, him speaking with Mike at Mesa (which I really appreciated him doing because who better to talk to than the guy who's signature is on the transformer from '92 who built the amp) and figuring out exactly what the f was going on with this rare amp that is highly sought after by many because its in the first 500. Now, this is the best sounding amp I've ever played and just got off the phone thanking Shane for a job well done and thought I'd leave a review of my honest experience with him who I highly recommend taking the time to try out. To get things right it takes a couple few weeks which if I went to Mesa it would have been months I'm sure. Oh, No amps were set on top of mine. Just referring to another review on here. Thanks Shane!!

I have been taking lessons with Chris since November 2015. I started having no clue how to read…read moresheet music and had previously short tempered teachers. However, when I saw Chris' video and the offer for a free first lesson I decided to go. Chris was patient, kind, and had a great attitude toward teaching. I quickly learned that he had taught people of all ages ranging from 3 to 85 years of age and that each learner had different styles in which they learned and expressed themselves musically. Chris showed me techniques to quickly learn the material and I took both individual and group lessons. The individual lessons were your typical one-on-one, but not with teaching scales. He just started off having me jump into the material. This paired with the group classes bolstered me forward. The group classes consist on average of 4 students at a time. Chris would open each session with an inspiring tidbit about how to enjoy the practicing of, playing, and appreciation of music. Then each student would be at their own keyboard and play their piece with headphones on. For most of the class he would go around to each student, plug into their keyboard and then give feedback on how to improve playing the piece. He would give techniques to slow down, focus on one area, etc. Then at the end of the class he would encourage each of us to play our piece, even if it was not perfected yet. he did this because he would instill the idea that music is fun, each performance is unique, and music should be shared and enjoyed with others. This constant playing allowed me to get over any anxieties I had about playing in front of others. I had the opportunity to play at a community retirement center 3 times over this course in a recital that just made me even more amped up about music. I can now play full sheet music by composers such as Bach and use the pedal. I couldnt have done it without Chris and I hope that others will find this review helpful and encourage them to follow their dreams of learning piano :)
