 Sean L. McMorris is a professional musician and instructor with close to 25 years of experience. Equally proficient on guitar and bass, he has taught at DeKalb Musician’s Supply (1997), Atlanta Music School (2001), and privately since 1990. In 1989, he studied music theory privately under one of the founding instructors at LA’s Musicians Institute, the late Vic Trigger. And from 1991-1993, studied jazz bass under Dr. Wayne Goins at Kennesaw State University
Gigging around the Southeast and Mid-west on both guitar and bass since 1992, Sean L. McMorris has performed in a multitude of genres such as: afro-beat, rock, blues, neo-soul, reggae, folk, zydeco, funk, and jazz. While playing for the regional band Urban Grind in the late 90’s, he performed on the H.O.R.D.E tour, and the band won an Atlanta Music Award for Best Urban Act (1998). Second place was the Outkast, third place, the Goodie Mob. From 2006 to 2008, McMorris acted as the live musical director of the Singer/songwriters Soul Kitchen which includes artists Vinx, Doria Roberts, and Julie Dexter. Over the years he has shared the stage with artists such as: Dionne Farris (Grammy nominee, Arrested Development), Van Hunt (Grammy winner), Derek Trucks (Allman Brothers), John Popper (Blues Traveler), Heather Luttrell (INXS Rockstar, solo artist), and the Barenaked Ladies, to name a few. Currently, he is playing in the cover/jam band Like A Locomotive, reggae band Itopia, his own original fusion trio, Sean L. McMorris Group, and performing freelance throughout Atlanta.
As an instructor, his goal is to expose students to many different forms of music and artistic expression, to provide knowledge and understanding of music theory, and to help the student develop his/her technique for guitar or bass. He will also teach material the student is familiar with (covers), and share tips on developing guitar parts and bass lines for original music. The student will learn to make charts, understand song structure, and become more familiar with pitch (using your ear). In addition, the student will receive basic knowledge of effects pedals and development of good tone.

 Laura Sully has joined planet rock as a new vocal coach. She is a certified speech level singing teacher, which is a highly effective vocal technique used by many of the stars and can be applied to any genre of singing. The technique itself teaches a vocalist how to sing with freedom, power, stamina and increased vocal range. It gives a singer the ability to sing, in whatever style her or she would like, night after night and year after year without wearing out or damaging the voice. You can read more about speech level singing at www.speechlevelsinging.com. Along with voice, Laura also teaches songwriting and basic keyboarding. She has sung in several rock, pop, and country bands throughout her career as a singer and is passionate about passing on all the knowledge she has obtained from the music business onto anyone who’s ready to learn and improve.
