Our
son, Curtis Warren, began taking classical guitar
lessons at Soundboard Studio when he was ten.
We cannot begin to express the impact and influence
that Mr. Sharpe has had on Curtis. Mr. Sharpe
is the quintessential teacher. To him every
moment is a 'teaching moment' whether it is
in the studio or flying across the country together.
The lessons do not stop with how to read and
play music. Yes, Mr. Sharpe is an outstanding
music instructor. The success of his many students
is a testament to that (entrances to the NC
School of the Arts,
multiple talent show winners, music scholarships
awarded, and even a student who has also begun
to teach classical guitar, to name a few of
the success stories).
Excellence is expected at Soundboard
Studio, but it is not the goal- merely a means
to achieving 'the goal'. Mr. Sharpe applauds
his students at each level of their growth.
He is equally proud of the three year old who
plays one note as he is of the older student
who is winning awards. The individual ability
of a student is taken into account but never
used as an excuse to achieve less. My Sharpe
is more concerned with character development
('the goal') than any other accomplishment.
His interest in the children goes far beyond
their performance piece. He teaches tougher
lessons, like how to handle the disappointments
and failures which come to everyone. He teaches
the children to respect and care for each other,
to do their best, to persevere, and when all
else fails to smile and persevere some more.
We are deeply saddened that our upcoming move
will not allow our son to continue studying
under Mr. Sharpe. We will always be grateful
for the lessons that he has learned which we
know will serve him well his entire life.

Our
3 year old son, Cedric joined Soundboard Studios
under the direction of Mr. Ron Sharpe for classical
guitar lessons. Cedric's musical ability has
undergone a wonderful transformation. He enjoys
playing the guitar, and looks forward to his
private and group lessons. He has gained better
concentration skills, math skills and has developed
the ability to follow detailed instructions.
Mr.
Sharpe is very professional in all his activity
associated with his students. He strives for
the highest quality of learning and uses many
resources to increase the student's musical
talents. He always praises his students, and
used constructive criticism when needed. He
is one of the most dedicated, patient and committed
instructors that we know.
The
exposure our son has had with Mr. Sharpe will
have a positive influence on him for the rest
of his life. Soundboard Studios is a place we
are very proud to be a part of.
Sincerely
Allison and Drexel Collins, Parents
