I'm the grandmother. Ths student is advancing rapidly. He LOVES this place and the energy. He is learning sight reading AND playing by ear with chord structure and rhythm. Great talented teachers who know how to connect with the kids. Give them a try!!

Report
Kelly Shepherd is a phenomenal musician fully dedicated to his students. His wide range of experience allows him to teach on various instruments, but his main focus is always on producing the best tone possible. He encourages his students by allowing them, kids and adults alike, to fully be themselves so that their sound is as natural and beautiful as possible. Kelly's huge heart gives him the patience he needs to work with even the rowdiest of children and kids always leave his school with a smile.

Our experience at Kelly's Music and More has been tremendous. We've tried other music schools, but found them to be too "stiff". Kelly shows the kids that learning an instrument (or several instruments) can be fun! He teaches them how to feel the music they are playing and guides them to where they actually want to go. We started at Kelly's with one member of our family. We now have 3 family members there learning a total of 5 instruments! We wouldn't go anywhere else.

My son, Kevin, has been taking music lessons with Kelly for several years. Kelly has given Kevin the freedom to explore different instruments and different styles of music. This has helped Kevin develop a real passion for music. My son currently plays guitar, trumpet, piano, and does some singing. Kelly allows the children to develop their skills without making music a chore or too stressful. Kevin never complains about going to lessons. He looks forward to every one! I would never go anywhere else and recommend Kelly with every chance I get.
