Lessons

In 1979, after graduating from Berklee College of Music, Jerry Sims decided to move to Columbia, SC to open his guitar teaching studio. Jerry and his wife Debbie started out with a small teaching studio with a little shop that sold a few packs of guitar strings. Over the years, the studio grew as well as the retail shop. With a lot of hard work and support from the great music community of Columbia, 35 years later, Sims Music has grown to be the leading music retailer in the Carolinas! Though Sims Music transitioned into a retail music store, we never lost our love for teaching music to others.
