“Shawn is insanely good”

“If you don’t pick Shawn as your coach, honestly I don’t know who else you would pick. His training and knowledge is beyond exceptional.”

“I have never learned more about singing in my life than I did in my single hour lesson with Shawn”

“I have been to many vocal coaches in the past but no one compares to Shawn. The way he teaches is just so easy to follow and understand. He’s super fun too. Just makes the whole process run so smoothly”

“I literally just wanted to impress my friends with my singing at a karaoke night we were planning on having in a couple weeks. Shawn was a lifesaver. Within the first 3 lessons, he turned me into someone else. Safe to say the mission was accomplished”

“Shawn is so fun! He literally makes you laugh and then corrects you at the same time. I don’t even know how he does it, he just does”

“This guy feels more like a friend than a coach. Makes you want to trust him with your life. Super personable but such a freakishly good teacher too. If you don’t understand a concept, he’ll patiently guide you through it to help you make the right sound. Makes you feel super comfortable but also makes you way better super fast.”

“If you don’t like Shawn as a coach, something is wrong with you. Seriously.”

“Shawn doesn’t hold back knowledge. He seriously wants you to learn and get better. I’ve had many coaches in the past where I felt like they were bread-crumbing me with information and my progress felt so slow. But with Shawn, he just leaves you with everything. It’s like the progress you made in 10 classes with someone else feels like it’s already done in 1 hour with Shawn. 

“He’s blunt but in a good way. Encouraging but straightforward. Definitely super sweet and kind but also just as savage. Such a unique personality. The pace at which you learn at feels comfortable. He matches you right where you are and knows exactly how to help you progress. Such a cool guy”

“Wow. Just wow”

“I was preparing for All-State this year and someone recommended Shawn to me. Last year I made 5th chair at Area which is pretty good if you know how the process works but I just wanted to be at the top. Shawn has been at the top already multiple times so I figured why not learn from someone who’s done it. By the end of the audition process working with him this cycle, I made 1st chair at area for the first time in my life. I mean I knew I had it in me, I just didn’t know how to get there. Shawn just brought it out of me and I couldn’t be more grateful!”

“He just knows everything. When to use what dynamic level, which words to emphasize, how to make phrases work together… smart smart guy. I really learned a lot from him. Didn’t know music was so difficult but he makes learning it feel easy.”

“Shawn is the best! Definitely as a person but especially as a coach. The amount of things you have to pay attention to when competing in front of a judge is endless. Shawn is relentless though. He almost makes it impossible for you to forget anything. He’s tough of course but he makes you better in a way that’s so caring that you feel obligated to do well just to prove Shawn right that you can do it. And of course, I did well. But it wouldn’t have been without Shawn’s help.”

“Thank you Shawn for making my first time learning how to sing so memorable. Was really nervous going into it but after spending that hour with you, I realized that I had nothing to be nervous about. Never felt rushed or judged. Just supported and safe to be me. I felt like I learned a lot and enjoyed it too”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I don’t even think there is one”

“Shawn has this energy to him. Like an aura. I don’t know how to explain it but he’s just special. It’s like when you meet him, you feel both calm and intimidated at the same time. Kind of has a celebrity energy but is approachable once you get to know him. And when you’re learning with him and working on something together, it just feels fun and peaceful. I don’t know why I’m talking about this in a review but he’s really cool. Just thought I should share.”

“Spending time with Shawn is just addicting. You have so much fun but at the same time learn so much. It’s the perfect blend of serious and lightheartedness. Makes you want to come back again the next day”

“5 stars is the bare minimum. For Shawn, he deserves at least 100.”
