Shaun brings his passion for music and life to every lesson…read more He has proven himself patient, kind and encouraging with my mistakes. He took the time to get to know me as a cellist, my musical interests, and tailors our time to what I need as a musician and not just one teaching doctrine. If you have ever thought about learning the cello or looking for a new teacher I would highly recommend him!

My son has now been with Shaun for a little over 2 years. In this time, he has moved from being the…read morebeginning level (level 1) orchestra to the top level (chamber - Level 5) - 5 levels in 2 years. While my son has worked hard to achieve this, there is absolutely no doubt that without Shaun's guidance, this would not have been possible. A few people have remarked that there is musicality in our son's playing, which is unusual. This is perhaps Shaun's greatest gift to his students - bringing forth the soul and careful attention to technique, all the while in service to the soul of the music. We are in Shaun's debt...

Guitar Desires sold a 1976 Fender Stratocaster for me. Rob came out to my house and we agreed to…read moresell it. He seemed honest and sincere. He was supposed to get a percent and was to sell it on EBay. I agreed. The guitar sold on EBay and I was told I would get a check withing a week or so. It has been months and still no check. Rob does not return my calls. Rob and Guitar Desires basically stole my guitar. I would advise you to avoid getting your guitar stolen and use a different dealer that wont steal your guitar. I am forced to sue Rob and Guitar Desires in an attempt to get the money from the guitar. Update: I did get paid for my guitar. I did get the money owed. I still would not recommend Guitars Desires but I would no longer state that my guitar was stolen as I did get a check for the full amount after about 6 months.

They take the time to talk with you and understand what you want and need to get done and then do an amazing job of getting your guitar set up just the way to like it. Super friendly and a real pleasure. Thanks!

It is crazy how he just knows what you want. "Just looking?…read moreStart over here". Door just opened "Hi, You want better strings?" Before the door is closed as you walk in. Someone looking at the guitars "you need a better amp first. Then he looks at your fingers "and these strings" always followed by "when you feel like things are getting easier and the music flows, then we can look at guitars and choose one based on 1 and 2 and maybe 3 but you wont want that until your fingers bleed"

I bought a $1500 mandolin here and had a good experience - good selection and nice staff. After I…read moregot home I realized that I didn't like the tone quality as much as my previous mandolin so I couldn't justify spending that money on a new mandolin. 5 days after buying it I returned it and they gave me my money back no questions asked. This shows me that they respect their customers and I will definitely be coming back in the future.

I am doing training with Larisa for about little over two years now. I love her and her voice. She…read moreis doing a wonderful thing. She has helped me to discover my voice and my abilities in music. Yes there are different bundles to sign up. It took me a while of practicing and feeling comfortable at first I thought I was not going to be successful. But now I can drum and sing at the same time. I'm getting better with tempo, beats and timing includes rhythm. I will probably end up with all her classes. She does have retreats which I do hope to attend one day. But now I'm writing songs and practicing makes perfect. It all comes together and yes sometimes it doesn't make sense. But keep at it and it will come through your body and voice.

I took an online class with Larisa and it felt like a scam. I paid for this class and signed up for…read morea 90 minute of instruction. When I attended more than a third of the class was a sales pitch for a much larger and more expensive online program. The pricing on this program was tiered depending on when you sign up. It felt manipulative as it put pressure on people to sign up right away without having time to think it over. When people in the class brought up needing time or concerns that stood in the way of their commitment she was dismissive. Her voice is beautiful and she is a talented artist but does not seem to have a lot of integrity.
