Shawn’s Drawing Tips

Everyone, when practicing, will practice drawing things they like, or what they’re good at. That’s all well and good, but you can’t forget to practice the things you don’t like! It’ll seem like a chore at first, and you’ll hate it. But in my experience, the better you get at drawing something, the more you’ll like it. So practice the things you don’t like, until they beome things you do like.

Shawn’s Drawing Corner

Shawn’s Art Corner

Drawing is not a skill you are born with.

You need to practice!
Just like practicing sports plays, multiplication tables, or a mu- sical instrument, if you want to be- come better you can’t just wish, you have to practice!

Shawn teaches drawing, comics & manga, and Photoshop lessons each week.

Summer Music Lessons & Art Classes

Summer Lessons = FUN!

Did you know that we are different than other music schools?
We teach the music YOU want to learn, without compromising the important foundations that are so important in succeeding in music!

Here’s how it works: Simply bring to your lessons a song or guitar riff that YOU want to learn. You can bring a CD, ipod, or sheet music. Your instructor will be happy to work on it with you! We incorporate these songs into your lessons, while still ensuring that students receive proper technique and theory instruction! In fact, students often learn the most foundational skills WHILE learning their favorite song. Nothing is more motivating than working on what really grabs the student’s attention
and excitement!

Aren’t sure what style is your favorite? We have music available to purchase and lots of options, especially for beginner students. Summer is a perfect time to check out these books and try jazz, popular, classical, or rock! In addition, we can order ANYTHING you may be looking for. We’ll save you the time and hassle of hunting down that cool song or sheet music. Just talk to your instructor and we can have the music as soon as your next lesson!

Summer is also a great time to try out a new instrument or double up on lesson times to make some great progress or learn some new skills.

Like singing along while you play? Consider adding a voice lesson!
Want to really excel in your piano skills? Try adding an extra 1/2 hour this summer! Give us a call! 770-345-7529

The Truth About Music Lessons

I have to tell you something. Music lessons aren’t actually about music. No– they are about so much more.

When you push through a hard spot and don’t give up, you’re learning perseverance and tenacity.
When you show up every week for mentoring from your teacher, you’re learning consistency, keeping your promises, and how to show up on time.
When you practice, you are developing discipline skills that will last you a lifetime.
When your knees are shaking and you climb the steps onto the stage and perform, even though you’re scared, you’re learning that you can do things scared. And succeed. 
When you play music in front of a large audience, you’re learning how to get up in front of people and stay poised and confident.
When you totally mess up, you’re learning how to dust yourself off and try again.
When you master a song, you’re learning how to stick with something and conquer it!
When you drop your backpack every day and head to practice your music, you’re learning time management skills.

When you hear a song on the radio and you know how hard it is, you  have learned music appreciation.

When you go to a concert and admire the talent on stage, you have learned what it means to be a musician.
I have to  admit. It’s never been about music lessons at all. It’s about all the LIFE lessons that you are learning along the way.
Parents, thank you for giving your kids the GIFT of music and life lessons!
