In addition to instruction in piano and guitar, he has studied African drums and is currently working towards a minor in at Foothill college in prepration to complete a minor in Music (majoring in History) at San Jose State University.

Shawn loves teaching both acoustic and electric guitar at any level, as well as beginning piano or recorder. In April of 2011, Shawn completed the rigorous "Early Music Awareness Certification Program" here at The Music Place, which not only equipped him to teach group EMA classes, but also increased his ability in general as a music educator who freely expresses his energy, creativity and passionate heart for kids.
Shawn teaches guitar, all arts, piano and Early Music Awareness at Sunnyvale Central, Sunnyvale West and Lifechurch on
Kooser locations.

I tell everyone who will listen about the amazing introduction to music that our daughter is getting with the Music Place. People are always amazed when a 3-year old explains that she played an oboe last week and is going to play a piccolo next week! Most importantly, our daughter can't wait for music class & asks to go every day. -- The Pace Family
