For those among us with advancing jazz guitar skills who are seeking the wisdom of a world class player, Sheryl Bailey has the means and methods to deliver lessons and guidance right to your home. The arrangement consists of video lessons and material that is enhanced with audio, video and texting tools that will allow a personalized approach for every step along the way. It is a totally interactive environment that gives the student flexibility while working at your own pace and also includes classroom jams, discussion threads and other related activities. You get direct feedback, demonstrations and direction from Sheryl personally for all lessons.
Here’s what a currently enrolled student has to say:
“I joined Sheryl Bailey’s online guitar course, ‘Bebop Dojo’, 2 weeks ago now and it’s been amazingly good! It really has lived up to all my expectations and works really well. It’s impossible not to be inspired by her great playing, attitude and well thought-out teaching. Sheryl is very good at getting back to you quickly with video answers to questions and general feedback and if someone requests lessons on a certain topic she adds the material, so it’s like a living, developing thing rather than just a set of lessons and that’s it.”

There’s so much more to the musical legacy Emily Remler left behind than just a jazz guitarist with a heavy Wes Montgomery influence. Emily’s musical tastes were wide and eclectic, as a teenager she studied Indian classical music and found she could memorize and sing whole ragas, she delighted in trying to coax those unorthodox sounds out of her guitar. Emily often credited Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story as a particular inspiration. At the heart of Emily’s writing and playing is a genuine sense of someone communicating their emotions that is often missing in the music of many others.
Here on her birthday we celebrate Emily the composer, with a diverse selection of her own compositions that span her career and ever growing interest in music of all forms.

This collection includes:
Avant-garde – Antonio from Catwalk (very modern sounding, ‘out-there’, unusual melody and solo)
Modal – Pedals from Catwalk (deep, spiritual and yet playful and light in parts, a musical journey)
Latin – Carenia from This Is Me (complex arrangement, thematic development)
Ballad – Waltz For My Grandfather from Take Two (heartfelt, emotive)
Bebop – The Firefly from Firefly (uptempo bop at its hippest, question and answer lines)
