VIRTUAL PRIVATE LESSONS (Guitar, Songwriting)
Welcome! I create a personalized lesson plan for each student, based entirely on your specific goals, and using the music you love. I can also guide you toward finding your own voice on guitar or as a songwriter.
Jeff is the only teacher I've had that really “gets” me, and consistently delivers concrete ways to help me reach my goals. If I’m struggling with something, he always tailors his approach so that it works for me. He’s terrific, and I love taking lessons with him. – DOMINIC P. (PERTH, AUSTRALIA) [more testimonials]
