What They Say

Rob K.

If you’re a beginner or if you haven’t picked up the guitar in a while and need to brush up, or if you have a child that’s interested in music, Chris Shahin should be your first and last music teacher! Five out of five stars!

Rich S

Thank you Chris for the learning experience I had with you and the class. I hope to participate in the up coming classes. I would truly recommend anyone interested in music to you. Thanks again for your expertise and talent.

Cathy P

We had the good fortune to be recommended by a neighbor to Chris and SJG School of Music. Our son began private guitar lessons with Chris when he was 6-years old and he is now almost 15. Chris and all the instructors are true professionals and clearly have a love and passion for music and teaching their art to others.

Jaspal K

We have had a wonderful experience with Chris Shahin and the SJGS for over 7 yrs now. We have two boys who play Jazz guitar. They have both greatly benefited from the instruction and guidance they got from Chris. In addition to the technical skills, he has a gentle and friendly style that really encourages kids to enjoy and explore the music.

Ketal A.

Chris is very positive, engaging and an amazing teacher and my daughter has really been loving guitar because of him.

Amal Z.

Chris worked with ( my oldest son)Jake for 8 years. Jake is now a college student who still plays guitar, bass and the ukulele. My son Zach has also been a guitar student with Chris for five years (he is now 17) and absolutely enjoys his lessons, and the friendship he has with his instructor. I highly recommend Chris, and his team at SJG School of Music.

Z.P.

Chris always was patient with me and made sure I still had fun while progressing. To this day I still go for lessons, and after I leave for college, I’ll come back during any of my holidays here at home.

Jacob P

I was a student here both in elementary school and in high school and got nothing but the best from Chris. He’s a great teacher that encourages progression but never pushes you too hard outside your skill level. It’s always a treat to have a lesson with him and I couldn’t recommend this place enough to start your musical journey.

Let's begin your guitar journey.
