Guitarist, songwriter, Audio Engineer

Shawn H.

I am a graduate of Utah Valley University with a Bachelor's degree in Speech Communication. In addition, I also have a degree in Audio Engineering from Broadview Entertainment Arts University. After graduation from UVU, I realized quickly that I did not want to work in the communication field anymore. So just a few months after graduation, and on a whim, I enrolled in an audio engineering program at an entertainment arts university.

I have loved music since I can remember, but when I started learning guitar at around age 15, my whole life changed. I had a hobby, something to look forward after school, and something tangible to set goals with. Guitar is my first love, and my biggest passion. I hope I can help you to become passionate at guitar, and hopefully help you to develop a hobby you can have for years to come.

I have played guitar for over 12 years, in a variety of different projects. I owe a variety of guitars, for a variety of teaching (and because I need them for live performances). I have written and recorded an album, playing everything but drums, and would love to help you with your songwriting as well, whether musically, lyrically, or both.

Learning an instrument (like most things) requires repetition, patience, and discipline. We will choose a few songs or principles to start on, and then work on those until you (and I) feel comfortable moving on. No shortcuts here!
