There’s a new drum teacher at the Shed!

Adam is a very patient teacher with years of professional experience on the drums. Born and raised in Massachusetts, he began taking drum lessons at the age of 8. His musical career has taken him to the California Bay Area, New York City, New Orleans and abroad! He has played drums in a variety of settings, from the cafe to the festival stage. Other credentials include cruise ship contracts, musical theater, second line parades, European tours, electronic music production and studio recording experience.

Adam has availability on Sundays between 2:30-6:00. Reach out to the front desk if you’re interested in lessons with Adam!

Greetings Guitar Shedders,

As you are surely aware, we are in the middle of a significant surge in Covid cases and we wanted to give you an update on our current protocol.

We will remain open in person until further notice and will continue to check temperatures, enforce mask-wearing, and sanitize as often as possible. These practices have served us very well in preventing transmission since we re-opened in May of 2021.

Remember that you always have the option to switch lessons to virtual at any time. If you feel any discomfort about the idea of coming in for lessons, don’t hesitate to let us know and we’ll be happy to switch to virtual.

Regarding positive Covid cases among our staff – we are following the current CDC guidelines for quarantine/isolation. Feel free to read more about their recommendations here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/quarantine-isolation.html

We hope that everyone is staying safe and looking after your physical and mental health. Fortunately, the Omicron variant has shown to be milder than past variants and the rate of hospitalizations and deaths remains very low, even as cases reach all-time highs.

Thank you for your patience and continued support while navigating this situation.

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Keep Shedding!
Guitar Shed

We are back to offering cello lessons at Guitar Shed!

Mason Johnston (they/them) is a composer, songwriter, producer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Atlanta, GA. Classically trained in cello since the age of 4, they were a member of the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra in the 2015 season. Since then, Mason has performed in several genre-eclectic ensembles, ranging from the Atlanta-based experimental indie rock trio Big Motion to the Mandé West African Ensemble at New England Conservatory, led by Balla Kouyaté.

Mason is teaching on Sundays and has plenty of spots available. Reach out to the front desk if you’re interested in cello lessons or if you have any questions. You can start as early as next week!
