"Reva has been tutoring our 7 year old daughter in reading for the last 6 months. She has been great!!! She is very patient with a welcoming demeanor. We, along with our daughter’s 1st grade teacher, have seen improvements from Reva’s time with her. We love that Reva incorporates reading games each time to keep things fun and light. Very happy we found her!!!

As a dedicated Music Production Coach with over 14 years of experience, I empower aspiring artists and producers to transform their ideas into polished tracks. My passion lies in demystifying the world of sound, making complex concepts accessible, fun, and deeply engaging. My journey includes managing a studio at the Best Buy Teen Tech Center in North Minneapolis, where I had the privilege of teaching music production to inner-city youth, an experience that deepened my commitment to fostering creativity and providing hands-on skills to the next generation of music makers. Additionally, I bring extensive real-world expertise from the nightlife scene, having served as a Sound and Lighting Manager and Resident DJ at prominent Minneapolis venues. This background honed my understanding of audio optimization, live sound engineering, and the art of curating immersive sonic experiences, providing me with invaluable skills for teaching students how to produce, mix, and master their unique sound.

"This music production class is a hidden gem! Whether you're just starting or looking to refine advanced techniques, the instruction is top-notch. The option to learn on BandLab for beginners, or dive deep into Ableton Live, shows great flexibility. The coffee shop location creates a comfortable, inspiring atmosphere that fosters creativity. Rickey and is incredibly knowledgeable and truly passionate about teaching. I always leave feeling more confident and creatively charged. Highly recommend!"

My musical story began at age 4 when I first embraced the guitar. Transitioning through private lessons at Brickhouse Music and Smith Music College, I earned my Bachelor of Music in Guitar Performance in 2013. Playing in diverse bands across genres like jazz, blues, and rock, I've devoted the last 13 years to sharing my knowledge through private lessons for youth and adults. Overcoming vision impairment challenges, I've come to see music as a healing tool, fueling my deep passion for teaching. 2018, I proudly opened the Shedore School of Music, inviting others to join me on a transformative musical journey.

"I knew I needed individual guitar instruction but was always hesitant because I knew I was terrible and was worried about frustrating an instructor. Dan's nature immediately eased all of my worries and made me wonder why I didn't do it sooner. He is an excellent instructor and has the patience of a saint. He tactfully pointed out areas I needed work on and was also quick to point out things I was doing well. He would spend as much time as needed on something I was struggling with and would always make sure I was comfortable before we moved on to something new. He's an extremely talented player himself and was very good at noticing things that I didn't even realize I was doing. If I was starting to develop a bad habit, etc., he always had a suggestion or something I could try to help me over a certain hurdle. There are many good guitar players, but not all of them make good instructors. Dan seems to have a passion for both playing and instructing, and he certainly has the talent for both. I would recommend him to anyone who has an interest in either learning to play or becoming a better player.

For over 16 years, I've nurtured softball talent, blending expert instruction with a fun approach. My passion is helping athletes reach their full potential on and off the field. Let's elevate your game!
