About Shawn
Hello! My name is Shawn, I've been teaching music lessons for almost 15 years. My primary instrument is guitar, so I can teach advanced guitar lessons to children and adults. I also have experience teaching several other instruments, including piano, bass guitar, and cello. I worked as a music theory tutor at Texas Woman's University for three years, so I am also skilled at teaching music theory and song composition skills.
I am also a board-certified music therapist, which means I have specialized experience working with people with special needs. I can provide lessons virtually or in-person near Temple, TX.
Please reach out at (concealed information) or at (concealed information) if you have any questions!
I started teaching as soon as I graduated high school. I was the head of my high school's guitar ensemble, so I already had experience tutoring students and leading sectional practice. My orchestra director referred me to a few students, and from there I began to develop my own teaching business.
I have completed my coursework for a degree in Music Therapy. My courses included two years of music theory and aural skills training, as well as three years of college-level guitar and piano lessons.

I prefer student-led lessons, where learning is designed around what skills and songs the student wishes to learn. Every lesson will usually contain some time learning chords, scales, and music theory, and also some time learning songs and technique.
I've worked with students as young as 4 years old and as old as 70 years old. I've taught students interested in rock, jazz, funk, blues, hip-hop, and more. I also have experience teaching students with special needs.
Be sure to find a teacher that aligns with your own musical goals. Most guitar teachers can teach you basic things like chords, scales, and how to read tabs or sheet music; however, if you wish to truly excel at a specific genre or technique, find a teacher who is passionate about that idea. This way, you can be sure to learn from someone who can teach you what you want to learn with the most expertise.
After a summer break, a student I've taught for three years came into my studio while I was practicing. This student and I have mostly focused on techniques to play by ear, rather than learning sheet music. When he came in, he asked me to play through the Francisco Tarrega study I had been practicing. As I resolved the chordal 9th down in the melody, he reacted in a way that showed a true appreciation for the art of music, although he doesn't listen to classical music. This moment is special to me because it marked a transition from a student who was simply learning guitar to play it, to a student who was deeply interested in how to make music.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Here are some questions I always ask my new students:
- What kind of music do you listen to?
- What would you like to be able to do with the guitar? (sing and play, shred solos, etc.)
- What specific songs would you like to learn?
- Do you want to learn how to write songs of your own?

Mr. Shawn was a great teacher! He was very patient with me as he taught me to play the guitar. He also helped me learn about music theory, and explained in a way that made sense. As an adult beginner, I was worried about the lessons being geared towards children, but Mr. Shawn did a great job not making me feel childish!
He is great to work with and provides excellent feedback. I was comfortable learning through tablature originally, however when I expressed wanting to learn sheet music as well, he was able to immediately shift gears and provide a complete music learning experience. He was incredibly patient when I was learning new concepts and was able to help me correct my playing where needed in a way that I could easily understand. Definitely recommend Shawn for anyone looking to learn at any experience level.
Shawn is patient, succinct, and really easy to understand. As an adult learner, there's nowhere else I'd rather go to learn. Excited to continue my lessons with him!!
