My teaching approach:
Welcome to SherStudios My motto is music can change everything if you let it into your life. I give lessons with a passion so everyone can enjoy the incredible world of music. Each student is taught specifically to his or hers interest and goals in a comfortable and affordable setting. I have a Bachelor's in Music from Hartt School of Music and have toured with signed bands as well as recorded for hundreds of artists. I have taught for 30 yrs. and sent many people to music school and prepared them for careers in music as well as given others a fun hobby to enjoy.

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following:
I first ask them if they ever had previous musical experience on whatever instrument. Then I would have them play for me so I could see their level. If they are beginners I would instruct them on the proper hand techniques and teach them a scale and perhaps a chord.
A guitar lesson with me might entail the following:
I would first figure out the direction and style the student wants to pursue. Then I would begin in that particular style with exercises that apply.We would decide if the student wanted to learn standard notation or tablature or both. After doing exercises and perhaps reading studies I would find songs the student likes which night pertain to a technique we are working on. I would then transcribe the song an help the student break it down.
The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following:
Someone who shows up eager to learn and have fun.

I’ve been taking lessons from Jamie for over a year. What a terrific experience it has been! He has adapted the lessons to my needs. He throws enough new material at me every lesson which forces me to put in the practice time to get better. He helps me choose songs that are just slightly above my skill level to push me forward. He’s also personable and fun to talk to. I know Jamie can get me to be the quality guitarist that I want to be. John Fiengo
I've studied with Jamie every week for almost a year. He is a great player who also knows how to teach. He is dedicated to teaching, and can take you as far as you want to go on the guitar and several other stringed instruments!
Jamie Sherwood is the best guitar teacher I ever had. I’ve been playing guitar since I was 8 and had many teachers. He’s very thorough. And knows his craft inside and out.
Jamie has a broad depth of knowledge with many stringed instruments. He has a degree in classical guitar and can teach from Bach to Beatles to Bruno Mars in guitar, banjo, bass, mandolin and other instruments. He can transcribe music off a CD onto sheet music for students to learn and he also has a recording studio if a demo or CD is desired. Jamie has an ability to personalize lessons to meet a students' level of instruction and musical interests (and I should know having studied three instruments thus far with him).
Personable, enthusiastic with students. Makes you work hard and want to learn your lesson.
He is a very gifted and passionate musician. He also is a patient instructor. He taught me immediately not to get frustrated and my playing will get better. Having fun while I learn.
A true professional, Jamie has a gift for sharing his craft with others. I have learned so much from him and really enjoy my lessons, even after many years now.
My experience is with banjo lessons. Jamie is very knowledgeable. He crams a lot in the 30 minute sessions and I always come away feeling I've learned something new even after several years.
Jamie is the best teacher I ever had. Is positive, inspiring, funny. He’s bringing to a level I never been before. I can play Jazz now and blues.
He's a consummate professional. I've been taking lessons with Jamie for years & trust me delivers the goods in terms of instruction. No matter what style you are interested in learning, jazz, rock, classical, or country, you won't go wrong having Jamie Sherwood show you the ropes!,
