Student & Parent Testimonials


“Jeff is a patient and attentive instructor. He’s taught me to play guitar much faster than I ever imagined. He is super at responding to emails and my crazy song requests! I am thankful!”

Moj M.


“My wife and I wanted to enrich our son’s morning daycare experience with music lessons. We are so lucky we found a teacher who makes “house calls,” and who is very patient and engaging with our six-year-old (a total beginner). Jeff incorporates guitar games into the lessons, uses the computer to show videos and make sound recordings, and has encouraged our son to compose mini-songs to increase his interest and confidence level. Jeff is good with “grown-ups” too; I have been joining in some evening lessons (as another beginner), and he’s an excellent teacher!”

Brad A.


“Jeff is an excellent teacher. He is knowledgeable, patient, and creative. Jeff has created videos as teaching aids. My wife and I have found him to be flexible and lots of fun. While we have enjoyed the lessons, Jeff is a task master and has kept us motivated. We have made consistent progress!”

Harvey B.


“Jeff makes it really easy and fun to learn. It’s fun to talk with him about your musical interest. Overall Jeff is a real nice person in general and he is definitely the guitar teacher of my choice.”
