I look forward to returning and picking up where we left off one day.

I'm an actor currently based in New York, but I work with Paloma in LA as well, and she has helped…read moremy acting career tremendously. From mastering cadence and vocal technique to helping me find and replicate the voice of Malcolm X, she has an incredible understanding of the actor's instrument. She stays true to the fundamentals while bringing a real sensitivity to artistry, finding innovative ways to help you discover breath, voice, rhythm, and use your instrument to its fullest ability. I recently wrapped a TV show, have a Netflix film coming out next month, and we literally just finished another session today preparing for what's next. I'm grateful to have Paloma on my team, and anyone who gets to work with her is blessed to have her on theirs.

She has helped me become much more confident by teaching me how to sing with proper technique without straining or damaging my voice. What really stands out is how knowledgeable she is about human anatomy and how it relates to singing, which has made her instruction both practical and easy to understand. She's an incredible teacher, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their singing.

She makes you feel comfortable and has a way of teaching you how to sing. Looking forward to doing an open mic and I feel so much better about it thanks to her. It's even gotten to the point where I am doing the vocal warmups in my sleep.

Their management team is very professional, responsive and friendly. I never had a problem with scheduling or payments. I take guitar lessons with Michael Steiner, he has been a great teacher. I learned a lot from him, he definitely helped with taking my playing skills, and understanding of music to the next level. He also helped me be more comfortable with singing a long while playing. I have definitely improved a lot since I started working with him. I am very happy I found such a great school.

We found Mollys music on yelp and the experience was great from the first call with the music coordinator Liam, who just went above and beyond to make sure everything was clear about the lessons and took extra time to get to know a bit about my daughter to make sure that the vocal coach was a great match and she was! Maddie was so great and professional, relaxed and knowledgeable and my daughter had a lot of fun with her. Mollys music was really accommodating with scheduling changes and trying to support my daughter's very busy schedule. Highly recommend!

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!

John patiently listened to what I wanted, provided suggestions, and laid out the work to be completed. He did a truly remarkable job--beautiful, original 50's wiring and an insanely clean seal on the cavity. Maybe for the first time ever, my Les Paul has all the warmth, roar, and chunky goodness it is supposed to, and it is more playable than ever. Pricing was fair and transparent, and when I brought in the guitar a couple days later because of a couple minor issues with the fix, John addressed them in minutes. My go-to luthier from this day onward, no question. Quick note for anyone considering coil-splitting: I won't go into too much detail here, but John has a special trick to get around the issues a lot of folks encounter with thin, cheap-sounding tone on coil-split humbuckers. No, it doesn't make my LP sound like a Strat, but it does open up a whole new range of punchy, twangy, crunchy tones that I did not have access to before. If you are interested in trying out this upgrade, look no further. John is your guy.

I initially thought it was going to need some fretwork so I took it to Guillermo and John which are highly professional and externally knowledgeable and can't forget honest. They could have easy charged me over $300 for fret work but instead they told me it was just going to need a re-string I was so happy I told them to set the whole thing up. When I got it back which was a quick turn around it played better than my Fender Tele custom shop which I also love. I highly recommend any level of guitar/bass player to bring their instruments here!! They made a customer for life and I'm bringing in my Tele tomorrow so it can get the same treatment. Thanks Guillermo and John you guys rock!!
