I am just starting my journey into jazz and couldn’t be happier to have Sheryl Bailey as my guide. Her teaching manner is thoughtful, thorough and fun. And honestly just hearing Sheryl play is motivation enough for me to pick up the ax and start swinging. [seanymullz]

I cannot speak too highly of Tim Lerch as a guitarist or as an instructor. He has a mastery of the instrument and of harmony and teaches in a humble and compelling way. [Jared F]
