My service stands out because you don’t have to pay top dollar to put and emphasis on 1 on 1 teaching. That’s my bread and butter. Being a certified personal trainer I bring more aspects into my lessons to further tap into my athletes talent and work ethic. You don't pay seperate for the personal trainer. I correlate the skill work and physical training together. I played varsity 3 of 4 years in High School. I have multiple Babe Ruth League state titles and played collegiately for 2 years and was a win away from the college World Series. I know how good baseball is played and what it looks like. I break down the fundamentals of the game to help their skill set grow exponentially. Wether it's infield, outfield, on the bump or in the box, when the fundamentals become basic nature, it leaves all the room in the world for the talent to take over. Baseball is such a mental sport as well. I've read numerous books about not only techniques physically, but techniques mentally. That knowledge either isn’t passed on, or it costs an arm and a leg to get. I enjoy helping people get the most out of themselves. I enjoy spending time teaching the younger generation about the sport I grew up loving and still love. I enjoy being a good influence and passing on my knowledge to the younger generation.

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.
