Shane Chapman

Teaches at New York City Guitar School

Chapman comes to us from Seattle, where the summers aren’t that hot, the winters aren’t that cold and it doesn’t rain as much as you’d think. Since he left his hometown of Anacortes, Washington in 1997, he has taught English in Prague, waited tables in Scotland, played shows in Australia and rocked it as a poor musician in five continents and over thirty countries. In Seattle, he was a teacher at the Seattle Center Academy and the front-man of the intrepid band The Red Note for five years. In addition to his guitar school responsibilities he is currently completing a degree in music composition at Brooklyn College and often writes music for the film and theater departments there. His coolest job to date is being both a teacher and the director of the Brooklyn Guitar School.
