I've been playing saxophone for about 17 years, and I came to Jeff for help to take it to the next level. He met me where I'm at, and has quickly helped to fill in some holes in my knowledge in a way that has already changed things for me. Each lesson has been better and more productive than I expected. He's easygoing and fun to hang with, knows wind instruments, and is also a great person to talk to about where to go next in one's musical journey. I look forward to taking more lessons with Jeff!

My son took lessons with Jeff this past summer and has made incredible improvements in his playing. He was inspired by Jeff which really increased his motivation and practicing. He comes back from his lessons thrilled to discuss what he had learned. He has developed a method for his Jazz improvisations and is eager to put in the hard work of leaning the circle of fifths to get even better. He has never been excited to do this before and it is a joy to see his excitement and to hear his progress. Jeff is an amazing teacher and musician.
I would strongly recommend considering Jeff to any sax player who would appreciate a realistic, step by step approach to learning improvisation. I have previously worked with two other teachers who are accomplished players. They each knew tons of theory, but when it came to teaching improv, couldn't offer much more than \do it this way.\ Jeff not only knows the theory, but is great at sizing up my learning needs and devising strategies to help to get me to the next step. Jeff is a friendly guy who, while he has expectations that I work on things seriously, never gets frustrated when I have difficulty. He is a problem solver rather than fault finder.
I picked up my sax after 50 years neglect and am so lucky to have found Jeff to instruct me. I’ve been taking lessons from Jeff for over a year and love it. Practice is something I look forward to. Jeff makes lessons fun and is very encouraging and motivating Thank you Jeff!!
Jeff was my saxophone teacher for four months. The only reason I stopped seeing him is that I moved out of state. Going in, I could not read music, and had never touched a saxophone in my life. I cannot overemphasize how much Jeff taught me in the past four months. Jeff is humble, unbelievably talented, well-versed in music theory, and personable. He is great at communicating schedule conflicts on his end (meaning he will give you 2 weeks of heads up if he needs to reschedule), and is very conducive to understanding emergencies on your end. Jeff makes sure the lessons are structured such that you get what you want out of them. He doesn't have cookie cutter lessons that he pitches to all his students. If you want to learn to read music - great, he will teach you. If you want to learn more advanced music theory - great. Spend the whole hour working on your embouchure - great. Overall, I had a great experience with Jeff and would highly recommend him to aspiring musicians of all skill levels!
