About
I think my work stands out because I truly care about my students and their needs.
I love working with people one on one and the things I learn from them. Most of my student don't realize how much I learn from them. My younger students are so great because they are not afraid to try anything! No matter how complicated something may be, they will not hesitate to try it. This inspires me on a daily basis and I am constantly trying to incorporate this "fearlessness" into my everyday life as well as passing this along to my older, wiser students. Everyone learns in a different way and it's a challenge to try and find new ways to teach the same material.

Jeff Howe Music has been a wonderful experience. When I explained that I was hesitant about leaving my daughter alone with someone we did not know, Jeff was very understanding and made accommodations so I could sit in on the lessons. That gave me the chance to see his teaching firsthand.
He is an excellent instructor who keeps students motivated by using positive reinforcement throughout the lessons. These days I no longer sit in on them, and my daughter is really enjoying learning guitar.

My daughter Aria she’s 13 wanted to play guitar. She did not know how to read music or anything. Just wanted to play so we found Mr. Jeff. We have been using him for the past 3 months And he is amazing he is organized has a wonderful studio. Let us sit in on the first lesson. He has the 30 minute or hour lessons. My daughter takes an hour and she loves him. She’s learning a lot. He is so professional he response to your messages. We had to change dates for when we were taking her and he easily had a different spot we could take. I highly recommend Him for guitar if anyone is looking. Prices are very reasonable. Very sweet, very professional and his wife is very lovely also

My lessons with Jeff have worked out great. He seemed to know just the right type of practice regimen to put me on. I think I've made some real progress toward my goals after just 4 lessons.
