NO teacher is so gifted that they can help a student progress and accomplish their goals if they don't practice. For that reason, it is expected that every student devote practice time, at least five days a week, equal or greater to the duration of his/her lesson. Every lesson, Shaun Manley creates practice sheets of elements to be practiced during the week, so that practice time is efficient and thorough.
It's always about you
~~Shaun Manley began his piano studies in Orange County at the age of seven. At age twelve, he moved to Redding and began studying piano and composition with Duane Hampton.
