Introduction: 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.

My son loves his drum lessons with Jeff! The lessons are fun and challenging and we have seen so much improvement in the short time they have been working together. Jeff is great at working with kids and keeping them interested. I would highly recommend him!

I really like him as a teacher and as a person but I don’t really think he understood what I wanted in the lesson. I came to get these lessons because I was struggling on improvising and playing to music and it feels like we barely went over that stuff, instead he gave me a crash course on drumming as a whole. Which is fine but I can work on all the other stuff outside the lesson on my own time. He’s a great teacher and I’d definitely recommend him even though I wasn’t thrilled with my experience.

I have just recently started lessons with Jeff (April 2014) and have found his patience are truly GOLDEN !! I do not have a musical background but have always loved the drum set! I feel I have learned more in the first 3 lessons than I thought I ever would. Jeff is truly interested in seeing you progress in that he asks you why you are taking lessons and what your goal is !! His teaching material is very appropriate and he keeps the lesson upbeat and fun!! And will share a story or two time permitting ! Thanks and keep on Drumming !! P.S. " Did you ever find the "Best Chicken Fried Steak" ? Doug B.

I have been a guitar player for many year and also wanted to learn drumming. I have been taking lesson from Jeff now for 5 month and due to Jeff's does an excellent structured approach of of learning rudiments, rhythm study and drum set methods I am very happy with my progress. Jeff is very encouraging and is great at providing feedback in a very easy to understand way.
