"Phil Sargent was my guitar instructor for five years. He has a vast knowledge of the jazz idiom as well as various other styles including odd-metered Bulgarian music and even metal, all of which he incorporates into his unique style. Phil is a great teacher for students of all abilities. I started lessons with him as an inexperienced player. Now I am going on to study music at the college level. He has a more modern approach to harmony, which makes him a great teacher for advanced players. During my lessons he was able to present information and guitar techniques in an accessible way. It is clear to me that he is not only a great teacher but also a great player. He is a guitarist that teaches, not a teacher that plays guitar. I would recommend Phil Sargent to any guitar student, especially students interested in jazz."

"I started learning guitar with Phil when I first got my guitar three years ago. I cannot even start to explain how much I have learned from having Phil as my teacher. I am only in high school, but I have accomplished so much because of Phil, from getting numerous gigs, preparing for Jazz All State and even helping other kids with learning guitar, but I could of never of done any of this without Phil. I started playing guitar without knowing what to do, and even being a little scared, but Phil's outstanding teaching and knowledge of music and students, allowed me to accomplish everything I have. Phil's musical ability allows him to incorporate music knowledge and theory into any style of music a student of his is interested in. Having Phil as a teacher has been great for me because I enjoy so many styles of music. Phil has been able to teach me the musical styles of classical, jazz, rock and even metal. I would highly recommend Phil as a guitar teacher to anyone no matter what musical taste they have or what level of guitar they are at."
