Music Theory from a Published Music Theorist! Composition, Arranging, Counterpoint, and more!

I have know Jeff for many years and we often played live music together all over SoCal. He is an outstanding musician, multi-instrumentalist, often writes arrangements to fit the lineup including horn parts, and expresses things in a way that others can understand and relate to. Highly recommend!

Jeff has been my music teacher for years now. If you're hesitant about taking lessons because it's hard to vet what you'll be getting out of it, I encourage you to go with Jeff because he never left a stone unturned. He's also personable and responds quickly to any questions I have. You'll be getting much more out of it than you think, so don't hesitate. just do it. Trust me!

Jeff was my tenor sax instructor. He is very knowledgeable and a great instructor. Jeff was very patient and understanding. He has an incredible background in music and is multi-instrumental. Two big thumbs up for this instructor.

Jeff is the best. He started teaching our eldest daughter a year ago. Like most kids, she has given up instruments along the way or not clicked with their teachers. Jeff is different - she looks forward to classes with him every week and actually practices between them! In fact, Jeff is so good that I now have him teach me bass guitar. So we go from her class, straight on to my class - and we look forward to that every week!

Our familey has been blessed to have Jeff as my sons music teacher . Jeff is patient , always punctual and understanding . Jeff has got my son able to jam on gutair. He teaches multiple Genres and styles. We are happy that Jeff is in our family.

When I decided I needed a specific type of music teacher to match what I wanted to learn, Jeff stood out to me. He is a professional musician who can also teach creatively. Every lesson with Jeff is inspiring. He uses clear, well-planned teaching techniques to guide me in each week's learning goals. I can feel my confidence and my instrument skills develop steadily. Jeff is encouraging and gives me constructive feedback. We always start and finish each music lesson with positivity and I'm so glad he is my teacher!

Jeff has been my teacher for over 2 years, a music store here in Vista, CA gave me a card to connect. He's an extremely knowledgeable musician who knows more about music than most, teaching me to play without reading notes. I feel he's very even keeled, non-reactive and always has an answer to my questions. He makes learning fun and creative too, and I always look forward to my lessons.

Jeff is a phenomenal instructor. His ability to structure his lessons to my skill level surpassed my expectations. Great instructor/great person.

Jeff is an amazingly wonderful guitar teacher and musician. He has been providing my son with lessons for the past 7 years. We started taking my son to lessons with Jeff at a local music store, then once the pandemic the lessons became virtual, which was actually a great shift, because now while away at college he can still have lessons with Jeff. If you are interested in an instructor who is patient and has a vast background in music and beyond I would suggest working with Jeff.
