Testimonials

"My Daughter Chloe has been learning the guitar with Sheldon for nearly 2 years. He has a kind and relaxing technique which is a great encouragement to her. She plays for pleasure and thoroughly enjoys the pieces he chooses as do I. She is now a competent guitar player and I would highly recommend Sheldon as I have done already to my friends."
Lorraine Calman.

"Sheldon"s a knowledgeable, flexible and really good teacher. He quickly sensed how I 'tick' so knows how and when to introduce new skills and approaches - when to let me wait a bit and when to challenge again. He has helped to make learning the guitar - even at my age - the high spot of my life!"
Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer - (Journalist and published author)

"Sheldon has taught all 3 of my children guitar over the past 3 years. They love his lessons which he always makes fun. Sheldon has been teaching my son for his classical guitar grade and his electric guitar grade both of which he passed."

Simone Snow

Karen Crane

"I had previously sampled other guitar teachers and have been learning with Sheldon for just over 6 months now. He definitely knows his stuff and is helping me make really good progress. Impressive stuff....thanks dude!"
Rob Sterling

"I was lucky enough to find Sheldon via his previous website having tried another teacher and D.I.Y. I have been having lessons with him for over a year. He is always challenging, encouraging and introducing new dimensions to our lessons. A 'big thanks' from one of your older students - who now realises he should've started guitar a long time ago."

Dave Collins

"I have been having guitar lessons with Sheldon for nearly 15 months now. Sheldon is an extremely skilled and easy to work with teacher whose experience and versatility has helped me immensely to enhance my guitar playing skills. He is down to earth and makes every guitar lesson fun and challenging. He has inspired me both to carry guitar on as a hobby and a passion. Each lesson is 'tailor made' for the pupil, including material that is essential yet at the same time a joy to learn"

Stephen Hare

"Sheldon's passion for music is very evident in his lessons. He has a great deal of knowledge and is good at communicating with those of us who are less musically-minded. He is good at putting his students at ease and encourages them on developing their own musical ideas. He is very patient and is an excellent teacher"

Teresa McKeague

"I am 13 years old and have been learning the guitar with Sheldon for a year and a few months now. Sheldon's lessons are fun and exciting and at the same time you lean so much. In the time I have been having lessons from Sheldon I have learnt so much about the guitar. Not just songs but about techniques, rhythms, chords, styles of music, patterns, solos and much more.

Sheldon is a kind funny man and is an amazing teacher, he is organised and coordinated and always helps me if i am stuck with anything. He puts a lot of energy into his lessons and they are never boring at all. The lessons are always jam packed with different things. Overall Sheldon is an amazing teacher and the best that I know."

Andrew Hare

"I came to Sheldon to learn classical/acoustic guitar lessons only a few months ago. In the first lesson we were quick to start and instantly I had the basics down. Personality isn't everything but there's a glass and a half in every lesson. Sheldon is a nice young man, he is calm and supportive in every aspect and I have found learning with him very enjoyable. I often have had little time to practise between lessons but with Sheldon's vast knowledge and innovative teaching methods, I feel that I progress in every lesson. I would recommend this man to my friends, family, strangers and anybody looking for a good teacher. I look forward to my next lesson and hope to continue as long as possible."

Josh King

"I have been learning guitar with Sheldon for some time now and am please to say that his knowledge and teaching approach are both superb. He manages to be relatively laid back but also demonstrates techniques and disciplines across the spectrum in a clear, concise and thorough fashion, covering a range of musical styles which I have learnt a great deal from. I would recommend him to anyone who is serious about learning guitar as well as those who simply wish to have a bit of fun.
Daniel Myers (session guitarist and guitar teacher)

"Sheldon has been teaching my 13 year old son Toby for over 3 years. Toby now really enjoys playing classical guitar and has quickly become an accomplished grade 5 level player under Sheldon's guidance. He is patient and an encouraging teacher who has built up a very good relationship with Toby thanks to his relaxed style. Toby has recently added electric guitar to his repertoire which he is really enjoying tackling with Sheldon's help. I would definitely recommend Sheldon." Diane Harris
