"My son started his guitar journey with Shannon just shy of his 9th birthday. At the time he was her youngest student. We could not have asked for a better teacher to foster his love of music and interest in learning guitar. Shannon is such an amazing teacher and truly cares and invests in her students. My son really gravitated to Shannon and loved his time with her. Together they built a great foundation of classical theory and technique. He really thrived under her tutelage and continues to improve his skills that he built with Shannon. I can't recommend her enough!
