It’s a wonderful feeling knowing that you are helping others to achieve their dreams and overcome the challenges they face when learning to play guitar. Here are some testimonies from just a coupl of my students:

“Jeff has been such a wonderful teacher! This is my first time taking guitar lessons and his patience and understanding are a blessing. He seems to always come up with ways to help me work through new techniques or songs. I always look forward to going to my lesson every week because I know I will leave feeling inspired and determined, even when I get discouraged. I have a busy schedule and he is always willing to work with me to figure out a good time to practice.

When I first came to Jeff, I didn’t know what to expect. I have never played an instrument before; I was simply passionate about music. In my first conversation with him I knew he shared that passion. He has made me feel like I am a real guitar player and my goals are attainable, which is a miracle in itself! I am very grateful to have found such a sincere teacher”.

“When I first bought my guitar, I had lofty aspirations of playing my favorite songs within months of my purchase. I bought a “Teach Yourself Guitar” book and CD, I think I made it 1 month before I got frustrated with my lack of progress and the guitar began collecting dust for the next 7 years. After threatening to add the guitar to the next garage sale, I got the ultimatum from my wife to either take lessons or it was gone. For my birthday this past February, she got me an introductory lesson from Jeff.

Jeff is great at working with beginning guitar players, especially ones with little musical background like me. During the first few lessons, Jeff tailors your future lesson plans specifically to your goals and when you want to reach them, and how much practice time you can put in. As a professional with a demanding full-time job and a father of two, I can’t practice everyday, so he designed goals and plans that I can work with.

Jeff is great at breaking things down and identifying problems, fixing them, and explaining why. His technique of positive reinforcement, tying in examples of subjects or sports I’m more familiar with to help with practice, and goal-setting, has really made the process fun. After each lesson, I’m provided with areas of focus for the upcoming practices. At the next lesson, we review those areas of concentration, make adjustments, and add new ones. I’ve been amazed with my progression so far.

It’s without hesitation I recommend Jeff as a guitar teacher. His teaching methods and plans have really worked well for me, and I’m sure you’ll be happy with your progress as I am”!
