Our family has been with Guitar Shed for almost four years now! We love everyone there. Ms Nichelle has been AMAZING for our kids. I have been taking guitar with Hoberdan for close to a year now and I feel like my skills have progressed tremendously in such a short time. Hes been great!

Guitar Shed is an excellent facility. Staff is awesome and the recitals they put on make the learners feel kinda like a big deal. They got a little something for every level.

I highly recommend Guitar Shed, mainly because of my granddaughters teacher, Chris. There arent many adults who connect with my granddaughter, but Chris did from the first lesson. Because of this, her weekly (now twice weekly) piano lessons became one of the best parts of her week. And, she has not only stuck with piano for 4 years, but her improvement (as seen in her performances at recitals) has been phenomenal. Finally, the overall professionalism of this school in billing, keeping parents & others informed, and providing a variety of opportunities for students is great.

Our experience with Guitar Shed has been tremendous. Our violin instructor Jenny is fantastic. Her attention to detail and instruction of music is phenomenal. Jennys desire to see our son succeed is heart warming and we feel lucky we found her! She is also flexible and has proven to be effective teacher for children with all kinds of minds. Thanks to Guitar Shed!!

I enthusiastically recommend Parker Smiths Guitar Shed if you are interested in learning to play the guitar as an adult. My teacher, Desmond, is an accomplished musician and teacher. Since I had no prior experience playing an instrument, learning the guitar has been a challenge. Desmond patiently, consistently and kindly provides organized, thoughtful lessons with music that matches my interests and skill level. He is creative and encouraging at helping me overcome obstacles. In addition, he didnt miss a beat re-tooling for virtual teaching. I couldnt be happier unless, of course, I had the muscle memory of a teenager!

As someone whos dabbled in various music lessons in the past, its hard to figure out or even imagine how to incorporate it into my life as an adult, no less as a parent. However, Ive found Guitar Shed to be the perfect place to fill this gap. Its a place where I felt immediately at home and at ease. Ive really enjoyed learning in a space where the instructors are truly dedicated to teaching and tailoring the experience to the strengths of the student. At Guitar Shed, I have had the opportunity to expand, learn, and grow musically in a warm and welcoming space which has been utmost fulfilling. Ive been taking voice lessons with Nichelle for nearly a year now and have been so pleased with the experience! Shes pushed my vocal capabilities beyond what I ever thought I could do and has made me feel immensely more confident in continuing to pursue this endeavor, whatever it may bring.

My daughter has been taking drum lessons from Guitar Shed for about three years now and She really enjoys it! They are very friendly, communicative and professional. They are great with children and adults. I especially like the fact that they keep the parents informed about their childs progress. Whats also great is that they give children the opportunity to experience being in a band. This helped my daughter, who happens to be an only child, learn teamwork! They have great performances as well. Another plus is that they made great adjustments for Covid safety! I highly recommend Guitar Shed! Thay are an awesome group of musicians and musical mentors!

Guitar Shed is an excellent resource for teaching music and instilling an appreciation of music. Our son has been receiving lessons there for nearly two years and were very happy with the experience. Even during the pandemic, theyve adapted to virtual lessons seamlessly and his progress has continued. Highly recommend this great resource to anyone seeking to learn an instrument!

Ive been a student at Guitar Shed for a couple of years now and would recommend them to anyone looking to learn to play an instrument or looking to improve their existing skills. My teacher Brandon Marsolo is very supportive and constantly pushes me to try new things. Back in 2020 we transitioned to all virtual classes and it couldnt have gone better. It truly is a great place to learn regardless of your age, experience or skill level.

We have been at Guitar Shed for 2 years now. My son started piano at 5 and is still loving it! The front office staff is delightful, and he and his piano instructor (Mr. Chris) have really clicked. We loved in person lessons and were a bit hesitant to transition to virtual - but Guitar Shed has really knocked it out of the park! My son still looks forward to his virtual lesson. Guitar Shed has had numerous virtual recitals - and it has been so great to be able to include family and friends near and far in his recitals. My son has let me know that after mastering piano, he intends to learn to play every instrument I can take lessons for at Guitar Shed.

My daughter has been taking piano lessons with Chris for over four years. I cannot say enough good things about this business or about Chris himself. My kiddo usually takes a long time to trust someone, but she trusted Chris from the start and has thrived under his instruction. The non competitive environment has meant my daughter gets to explore the piano without the stress, which has made her fall in love with her craft.Even through our the pandemic they have amazed me with how well they’ve handled things. It takes a truly amazing instructor to be able to teach well virtually, and we certainly have that in Chris!

Guitar Shed is an amazing place to learn guitar. Brandon has been my instructor for over a year now, and my guitar playing ability has increased tenfold. Brandons talent and in-depth knowledge provide an excellent learning experience. As an adult student, I cannot recommend Guitar Shed and Brandon enough!

We are so thankful to have Guitar Shed in our neighborhood! My daughter has been taking lessons with Ms. Jenny Chun for a year now and the experience has been so positive in a multitude of ways. Besides her brilliance in teaching young and new learners, Ms. Jenny is kind and encouraging. Having Ms. Jenny in my daughters life means a lot more to our family than just having an amazing violin teacher. Grateful that she is part of our village!

My son has been taking piano and guitar lessons at Guitar Shed for 4 years now and he will soon be leaving for college. His teachers, Chris and Sean, have been instrumental in the artist he has become by teaching and encouraging him beyond what he knew his skills were. He is going on to study Audio Engineering and I have no doubts that his relationship with the Shed and his teachers have helped him to find a path that is truly his. Forever grateful to Parker and the Team. I need to get another child plugged in there soon!

We LOVE Jenny!! She’s kind and firm in her approach to teaching. Our daughter has really enjoyed her time with Ms.Jenny and looks forward to her lessons. Can’t say enough good things about this business as a whole. Parker is a wonderful human who gives back to his community! Great people, doing great things.

Vivian is our daughter’s piano teacher. She has great energy and she is really a good fit for our daughter. We switched to Guitar Shed during the pandemic, so all the lessons have been virtual. This speaks volumes about Vivian that she has made such a connection without ever being face-to-face! Yesterday after her lesson, my daughter said, “that’s one of the best lessons i’ve ever had!”

My daughter started taking violin lessons with Guitar Shed a few months ago. Her teacher, Jenny, is fantastic. She breaks complicated concepts into simple steps and is very encouraging and patient. I highly recommend her to teach violin to your child. We are excited to continue watching our daughter learn and grow and she studies this instrument.

Guitar shed has been an incredible influence and I know that I never would have progressed this much musically without them. My guitar instructor for the past couple years has been Sean McMorris and he is not only one best teachers I’ve ever had but one of the most talented musicians I’ve ever met. He always exceeds my expectations by challenging me with new music and playing styles, he goes the extra mile by providing personal videos explaining everything and just helping in general. I will always recommend guitar shed, it’s awesome!!

Zack Alberta is the bomb. Great ears great chops and the patience of a saint! And pocket so deep he could scratch his ankles. Drummers you know what Im talking about. No drummers -- thats a compliment. Want your kid to groove? Thats Zack!

I started taking guitar lessons with Guitar Shed a few weeks ago and have had a great experience. From ease of registering to regular, clear communications about upcoming lessons and other information, it’s been very professional. My teacher, Sean McMorris, has been great to work with, and I’m seeing improvement each week. My daughter started piano lessons with Guitar Shed too and has been enjoying it.

Weve had a fantastic experience at Guitar Shed for piano lessons for our son. Chris is an amazing musician and patient teacher who has helped him progress steadily. They have made the best of the COVID situation and the virtual lessons are almost as good as meeting in person, and our sons piano skills have continued to improve. Highly recommended for music lessons.

I have been a student with Sean at Guitar Shed for 2 years now. Sean has a wealth of knowledge and experience with music and is excellent at helping me learn new skills and keeping me engaged. They have done a great job pivoting to online lessons during the COVID-19 pandemic. I recommend Guitar Shed to anyone looking to start learning a new instrument or who is looking to improve skills they already have.

My daughter initially started with ukulele lessons but soon realized that wasn’t the best fit for her. The Guitar Shed staff was incredibly accommodating in helping to identify the right teacher and instrument for her. She is now taking piano lessons with Gail and loves them. She looks forward to seeing her teacher and has learned so much in such a short period of time. We absolutely love this community gem.

My daughter LOVES her guitar lessons with Paul! My teenager started taking lessons from him during the pandemic having NEVER played guitar before. She has picked it up quickly learning strumming patterns, chords, writing songs and playing covers all VIRTUALLY! His influence has helped her make the time to practice especially being stuck at home having to “practice” social distancing for so long.THANK YOU, GUITAR SHED!

I am very pleased with the music lessons at the Guitar Shed. It’s a great space filled with wonderful staff and teachers. Jenny Chun has been an outstanding violin teacher. She does an excellent job teaching proper technique and fundamental skills while letting students explore music that appeals to them. So grateful to have her as a teacher!

We are so fortunate to have this wonderful resource in our neighborhood. Everyone at Guitar Shed cares about the students and their growth as musicians. My daughter started on ukulele with Max, who was so patient, then transitioned to piano, where she is growing every week with help from her marvelous teacher Gail Burnett. During COVID, Guitar Shed has done an amazing job with virtual lessons, ensuring students remain engaged.

We love Guitar Shed! Great community of musicians and excellent music lessons. My kids have learned and grown so much. Max, Drew, Gail and Sean are all great teachers!

Both of my children have been taking lessons at Guitar Shed for years. My son takes guitar lessons from Paul, and my daughter takes ukulele lessons from Max. It has been a great place for them to learn to play! The teachers always have worked hard to engage my kids in their lessons, and theyve managed to keep engaging them in virtual lessons throughout the pandemic!

We love Guitar Shed! My almost 10 year old has been taking piano lessons with Chris for about 4.5 years and cello lessons with Gail for about 9 months. My 7 year old has been taking piano lessons with Drew for about a year and a half. We cannot say enough good things about Guitar Shed and the wonderful, patient teachers who have connected in meaningful ways with my kids. We also love the many opportunities for performing in a non-competitive environment (in person, and now virtually through regular livestream recitals). I can see how these opportunities have built confidence in my kids. Although we can’t wait to be back in the studio once it’s safe, virtual lessons during Covid times are also going great. We are so glad we found Guitar Shed!

Great place to really get into an instrument! I always look forward to my piano lessons with Mr Chris Case and have learned so much. I hope soon we can be back in person but for now I’ve enjoyed getting back into piano from my home

Ive been taking piano lessons with Chris for a while now, and have learned so much about music theory in the time that Ive been his student! Hes incredibly kind and flexible. Cant say enough good things about Guitar Shed! Just kind and amazing people teaching others about music.

I highly recommend Guitar Shed for anyone looking to learn to play an instrument or improve their skills. We have had excellent experiences with guitar lessons from Sean McMorris and drum lessons from Dylan Banks. Not only is their instruction top notch, but so is the entire school experience. From the very first impression, we saw that Guitar Shed was run by kind and friendly people with a passion for teaching music. When the pandemic hit and GS switched to virtual lessons, the school handled it with great professionalism and concern for students. We cant wait until its finally over so we can once again enjoy GSs fabulous student showcases live and in person.

My daughter has been taking guitar lessons from Brandon for many years. He is a patient and caring teacher who has helped her significantly progress!! Brandon has also been very accommodating during Covid. Lastly, Brandon has been working with my daughter to pick music that she’s very interested in. Highly recommend!!

Our daughter has taken lessons from Guitar Shed and Sean McMorris for a few years now. We couldnt be happier! The entire staff is very friendly and always happy to help. Weve been very impressed with how quickly and seamlessly they transitioned to virtual lessons and the remote environment due to the pandemic. It doesnt seem like they missed a beat.Sean has done a wonderful job teaching our daughter. She has learned so much from him. He always communicates with us on her progress and provides great feedback. Sean is patient and really does a good job adapting the instruction based on how my daughter is progressing. Were extremely happy to work with Sean and be part of the Guitar Shed family!

I was a Guitar Shed student for a little over a year, taking weekly violin lessons with Jenny Chun (some in person and mainly over Zoom). I am an adult student (age 25), and my first lesson was actually the first time I ever picked up a violin. I had no prior musical training or education and really had no idea what to expect before signing up for lessons. Guitar Shed and Jenny made my experience absolutely wonderful. Not only did I progress every week but I had so much fun in the process. Jenny is patient and truly cares about her students wellbeing. I always felt I could be completely honest with her because I knew if I didnt understand something or couldnt quite get something, she would help me break it down until I got it right. She taught me how to practice mindfully and really focused on fostering a healthy relationship with learning and the instrument. I am currently on a brief lesson hiatus due to my career, but I am so looking forward to resuming lessons with Jenny come spring. Thank you Guitar Shed!

My daughter has been taking guitar lessons with Sean for a year and a half. Since the pandemic she they have gone virtual and Sean has been fantastic in teaching my daughter news skills and improving her playing. I love the Guitar Shed and Sean!

Sean is a great bass teacher and he has helped me progress through playing bass much faster than my previous teacher. I have found all of the staff to be very knowledgeable and helpful. 10/10 would reccomend

Ive been taking guitar lessons at the Shed for almost two years, and my experience has been wonderful. Brandon Marsolo is knowledgable and patient, and he offers keen insights that I could never get just noodling around on my own. He is also a great communicator: every week, he makes learning the guitar fun!

My daughter has been taking violin lessons at the guitar shed with Jenny Chun for a couple of years. I’ve enjoyed the community feel and my daughter adores working with Jenny every week. I highly recommending visiting guitar shed and working with Jenny Chun if your childIs interested in the violin.

I have been a student at Guitar Shed for almost 2 years, and a loving fan since the sheds early beginnings in the Kirkwood community. Parker Smith has created a rare center of gravity for a tremendously talented team of musicians and teachers to share their gifts with a wide range of students seeking different creative outlets, curiosities and challenges. Sean McMorris and Brandon Marsolo are two of the most inspirational teachers I have learned from, and my understanding and appreciation of music has expanded into territories I could have only accessed through the wisdom, guidance and patience from the shed family. My highest regard and recommendation goes to Guitar Shed for any individual looking for a deeper relationship with music and with themselves.

My son has been taking lessons at Guitar Shed for four years. Everyone is very friendly and professional. His instructor Sean McMorris is a great teacher and it has been wonderful to watch his progress and love for playing music develop.

Great place to learn music, especially violin with Jenny. She has been an amazing violin teacher for my kid.

A great music school with a great atmosphere and great teachers, I love it here and have learned so much, especially from my teacher Christopher Case :) great teacher, extremely talented, patient and lenient

My son has been studying piano with Nichelle for just over two years and she is AWESOME! He had two piano teachers (not at Guitar Shed) before her with whom he did not click, but he loves Ms. Nichelle! Even in the virtual environment, Nichelle pays close attention to all of the details and personalizes each lesson based on his interests. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!

We have been very happy at Guitar Shed. Both of our kids have taken piano lessons with Gail Burnett and she is great!

I would strongly recommend Guitar Shed to anyone looking for music lessons. Ive been taking guitar lessons with Sean McMorris for about a year and its been great. Sean is an outstanding guitarist and teacher, the lessons are really fun, and Ive noticed a significant improvement in my guitar playing.

Great team to work with!! Management and instructor (Hoberdan Peno) were an absolute joy to work with and flexible enough to facilitate my learning experience.

If I could give it 11 stars, I would. Our son has played with Sean M. for over 5 years now and has progressed from a Ukalale to playing Electric Bass in two bands and being able to play Ramble On by Zepplin at the age of 13 (he recently took the step of learning careless whisper all on his own, I know, hilarous). We love the family at guitar shed and how the teachers and ownership are able to grow so much amazing talent from voice to drums. If you are a music lover or former musician like me and want your child to develop the skill, understanding and the tingling sensation when the hair stands up on the back of your neck, this is the PLACE! As for COVID, our son loves his weekly online lesson and has still been able to play safely in the teen band. It has been one of the bright spots of this horrible time in our lives.

Great experience with the guitar teachers, especially Sean McMorris.

My son has been taking lessons with Nichelle for several years. Even throughout the pandemic, she has found a way to keep my tween engaged with virtual lessons by identifying tunes that he can relate to.

Great place! Our 12 year old looks forward to his lesson every week.As a parent, I especially appreciate the terrific organization and communication. Such is rare and invaluable with kids extracurricular activities and particularly music instructors or centers. Whether its scheduling, lesson feedback, payments or events, everything is concise, simple and accurate.Further, its very reasonable and convenient with plenty of free parking! Its also next to the Spotted Trotter ;-D

I started taking lessons at the Guitar Shed 2 years ago with absolutely no musical experience. In that time Ive gotten a wonderfully well-rounded musical foundation. From learning to play your favorite songs, reading sheet music, proper technique, ear training, improv, to playing live music, the Guitar Shed has never been short on knowledge or enthusiasm while helping me reach my goals.I would highly recommend the Guitar Shed for bother beginners and experienced players alike.

My son has attended Guitar Shed for a little over a year now, and he loves it. I drive far just so he can go here. I am impressed with his progress Brian and Marshall are awesome.

My daughter has taken lessons with Brandon at Guitar Shed for 2 years now, and weve been thrilled with our experience. Brandon really pushes my daughter to do her best, and as a result, has helped her to improve her musical skills, as well as her self-esteem and confidence through encouraging her to participate in recitals.I highly recommend Guitar Shed if youre considering music lessons.

All of the Guitar Shed instructors I’ve met are amazingly talented musicians. Not only that, they know how to pass that creativity on to their students. Guitar Shed creates a relaxing environment to learn in, and it’s also an inviting place to just sit and listen to music while waiting for a student’s lesson to complete.

The instructors at Guitar Shed are top notch, and really care about creating the best environment for learning. The studio space is convenient and welcoming. Plus, they offer flexible scheduling. Overall, its a terrific experience for music students.

Professional musicians - experienced teachers; inviting environment/studio with convenient location; great school for adult learners.
