Maddie was so great and professional, relaxed and knowledgeable and my daughter had a lot of fun with her.

Having been her student for about a year now, I can confidently say Joanne does absolute MAGIC! Not only does she make every session comfortable and fun, she ensures that I leave with a better sense of how to utilize my vocals in both the best and healthiest way possible. She works with what her students want to improve on most and then encourages us to let our talents shine outside of our lessons. I've definitely gained a lot more confidence with my vocal performance, and have been able to successfully showcase what I've learned on stage and even in auditions thanks to Joanne. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to improve their vocal techniques and discover their stage precense!

Patricia is a brilliant Renaissance woman. She is what you get when you mix technical excellence…read moreand style with humility, compassion, and a lifelong commitment to the craft. She is simply the best! I feel incredibly lucky to have met Patricia and begun my singing journey with her. I've been a student at Studio Shanks since 2018, when I was fresh out of college and looking for a voice teacher who could earnestly teach me how to sing. At the time, there were flashy online ads for folks that could "make you a superstar" and all of it felt so loud and nothing seemed to fit. At one point Patricia returned my call. Immediately I knew that she was the right teacher for me. It was obvious that she is not just naturally fun and easygoing, but also a true technician when it comes to the craft of singing. It's been a few years since we began working together. I've discovered that singing is something that can be learned at any age. It requires hard work, but it can be done. Luckily, Patricia is entirely dedicated to the growth and success of her students. Knowing this makes it much easier to bring my own effort during and between classes. I am honestly amazed at how, despite having worked with many respected luminaries in the field, Patricia remains humble and always with a sense of humor that puts me at ease. She is everything that comprises a professional artist and educator. What I love most is that she cuts through the noise and focuses on pure foundations. That means that she is able to work with vocalists ranging from the most contemporary pop styles to opera to musical theatre and beyond. All kinds of singing require the same basic knowledge of healthy and safe vocal techniques. At Studio Shanks, everything counts and everything matters. Thank you so much, Patricia!

Thank you very much for communicating. I would love to take singing lessons with you.read more

Ms. Tweena and Ms. April are amazing teachers when it comes to piano lessons and vocal training…read more It's a great warm learning atmosphere. They are wonderful with the kids...and adults alike.

Wow, I'm so glad we found Tweena!…read more We wanted our 5 year-old to begin piano lessons. We checked with our neighbors and friends and explored a couple of options. Most were ladies offering lessons in their homes. They had excellent reviews. But my wife talked to Teeena, and she offered a complimentary lesson. Heck yeah. My wife had a 'feeling' about Tweena. Tweena's studio is on the second floor of the historic Santora Building in DTSA. The building is beautiful, and Tweena's space in the southwest corner fronts Broadway and the arts plaza with Lola Gaspar, the Gypsy Den and the CSUF art space. The ceilings are maybe 20 feet high. Beautiful oak flooring. Nicely decorated. There is an ample reception room with a couch for waiting. One studio is smaller, while the large practice space is probably 400 square feet, with a grand piano and electric, as well. That's where our daughter takes her lessons. I love going in there. It is like going back in time. We knew this was the place for our daughter following that first lesson. My wife's 'feeling' totally validated. Tweena is young, and she knows how to interact with kids, while commanding their attention and respect. Our daughter loves her lessons, and she is learning quickly, so quickly that we are struggling to keep up with her! Tweena also gave us some excellent advice about whether to buy a baby grand or an electronic piano. I can't recommend Tweena highly enough. She is all we could have wished for as a piano teacher for our daughter. Plus, you are in DTSA with all the food opportunities to experience! We couldn't be more pleased.
