When coloring your drawings, do not use black, or white. Without getting into the complexities of color theory, we’ll just say black and white are not technically colors. Besides if you look at something in real life that is black or white, you’ll notice other colors hidden in them. So instead of using that black color pencil, try a dark blue, or purple. And instead of white try a pale yellow. You’ll be surprised how much life your drawing will have when you do this!
Shawn teaches classes of drawing, comics & manga, and photoshop each week!

My experience playing the drums goes back to elementary school when I received a student model Ludwig snare drum and began lessons with a couple of great local drummers. After graduating high school and then from Atlanta Institute of Music I immediately began my career traveling the southeast US playing drums as well as teaching private lessons. These days I’m enjoying life in the North metro area with my wife and daughter, our two dogs, and playing music! Being able to teach private drum lessons is one of the most gratifying endeavors I have been a part of and I am excited to be a part of Canton Arts Academy.

Your kids have a once-a-week lesson. They come home with songs to practice. Sometimes they are brand new songs, sometimes they are songs to review from the previous week. So what on earth is the piano teacher doing anyway? What is she looking for after a week with these songs?
When we assign your child a song to practice, we are looking for a few important things to happen:
Concepts Mastered.
Each week, students are introduced to new terms or concepts. The assigned songs help reinforce and teach these concepts during the week, and then the next lesson will build upon what has been learned.
Attaining Confidence.
It takes a lot of confidence to play in front of your piano teacher and not be so nervous that it affects how you perform. We are teaching our students to relax and do the best that they can. Because learning music is about sharing the gift of music. . .and you can’t do that if you never perform.
Reach High.
We place a high standard on our students. Our philosophy is that even if they don’t reach that mark, they’ve still come further than if we would have settled for less. However, perfection is not our ultimate goal. Is the music beautiful? Filled with emotion? Up to tempo? Expressing what the composer intended?
Gaining Discipline.
The reason we enforce “Perfect Practice,” a stretching goal for any individual, is to teach discipline to children. Pursuing an instrument is a big responsibility (and a big investment for parents). We think that practicing every day is the only way to truly progress in the music world. . .and to slowly learn how to be a responsible, disciplined adult someday.
We are super excited to share with you the newest member to our team of
professionals here at Canton Arts Academy!
