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...

This guy is THE MAN! Since starting lessons with Mike about 1/2 year ago, I've come to know him as…read morea professional instructor that clearly has a passion for teaching, and knows how to make guitar lessons enjoyable. Giving positive reinforcement when it is due, Mike's lessons are a blast, and they encourage me to practice at home. In addition to playing the acoustic guitar, we talk musical theory and history and how it motivates us to play the music we play. Pick Mike to be your instructor and you will acquire a proper teacher and a good friend. Cheers, Pete

I really wanted to support a local organization dedicated to music lessons and music. My son was…read moresuper excited to take guitar lessons after he got a first guitar for Christmas. But after scheduling an appt for my son, and having it changed at the last minute because of teacher conflict, followed by THEIR recommended alternative times, followed by an email from the guitar teacher that THEY DON'T HAVE AVAILABLE ROOMS, I have no faith at all that they can run this business. What a waste of our time.

For the price, I do expect every minute of the 30-minute slot to be spent playing/practicing the instrument. Also, students' scheduling needs come after those of the teachers and they too often rearrange students' schedules. If you are looking for high-quality lessons and a convenient in-town location, this is a great spot if you can handle the scheduling juggling and sometimes hurried lessons.

David Goodrich is a wonderful character. He doesn't always make it to the phone in time to pick it…read moreup, but he responds quickly to e-mails so I'd recommend that route for communication. And he is by appointment-only now, so don't just show up and expect to be seen. All that said, I doubt there's a better place anywhere to get your instrument repaired. He is extremely knowledgeable and downright passionate about violins, violas, and cellos. I own one of his violins and I take it in every year for a check-up. He holds it like a baby, taking his time to inspect everything, then hands it back and asks me to play something. Then he makes a face, takes the violin, and adjusts something before asking me to play again. Repeat for up to an hour. It's amazing how the tiniest tweakings make such a massive difference in sound quality! My violin has literally doubled in value since I bought it, and I'm sure it wouldn't have matured quite so magnificently without the yearly adjustments. Plus, it's really fun to get to try all sorts of new things- from strings to chin rests to bridges of varying heights- and then learn about why they change the way your violin plays.

Over 25 years ago, I purchased a "restored" cello in NYC that had serious problems. David discussed…read morethe issues with me and I ended up having him re-set the neck, remove the top to reinforce some cracks, and re-bush the peg box to allow use of higher tension strings. He also advised me to write to the dealer from whom I'd purchased the instrument detailing the problems he'd solved. Based on his diagnosis and reputation, they sent me a check covering most of the repair cost. I still play this cello today, and it has been entirely free of problems. David routinely works on instruments worth 10-20x what mine cost; I would trust him with anything!

The staff at School of Rock have amazing abilities when it comes to the performances they are able to elicit from the kids. I imagine that trying to coordinate a group of 10-17 year olds into a cohesive band must be akin to herding cats, but School of Rock clearly has some good tricks up their sleeve. School of Rock has been the one positive, steady thing that has kept our son afloat during the pandemic. His experience there has greatly improved his self-confidence and we've seen a huge advancement of his abilities in less than a year. School of Rock is a wonderful community of musicians that really know how to support and encourage kids. They meet kids on their level and work with what they've got.
