About

Shane is a classical guitarist currently pursuing a doctor of music degree at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. Having recently moved to Buffalo, NY, Shane is looking to expand his private studio, begin teaching beginner group guitar classes, and community classical guitar ensembles.

Prior to his classical study, Shane played electric guitar for many years. What is unique about his abilities as a performer and educator is his ability to take the skills and expertise that have been developed through years of rigorous classical music study, and apply them to popular styles of music. The pathway to developing as a musician and guitarist is the same whether you are plucking with your fingers on nylon strings, or using a pick on steel strings, and Shane has the experience and knowledge to help you take your playing and understanding of music to the next level.

When Shane is not practicing, performing, or competing, he enjoys spending time training and exploring with his 4 year old Australian Shepherd named Thor.
