My teaching style is customized to accommodate the abilities and preferences of each student, regardless of their experience level - whether novice or advanced - and age, from nine to adulthood. Many of my learners have commended my systematic method of addressing their individual playing challenges, resulting in a significant improvement in their skills, with faster progress than with previous educators.
Additionally, I am an accomplished musician who gigs with various bands of diverse genres and has recorded several albums. Learning from me comes with the chance to connect with Denver’s music scene, as well as acquire the skills necessary for a professional musician.
My areas of expertise cover several musical instruments like Saxophone (Primary), Flute, Clarinet, Piano, as well as essentials such as Music Theory, Composition, Improvisation, and Jazz Phrasing.
I also offer a complimentary first lesson to interested parties and have a program that rewards referred students with a bonus free lesson for both the existing and the new learner.
Music is my life, and I am zealous about sharing my passion with others.

At 60 years old, I ventured into playing saxophone without any prior knowledge in music. Thanks to Jeff's guidance, I was able to learn some basic notes and practice. Previously, I was clueless about playing the saxophone or reading music. I intend to continue my lessons with Jeff come springtime.

For approximately a month now, I have been receiving saxophone instruction from Jeff, and thus far it has been an outstanding experience! Jeff is exceedingly amiable and presents the information in a clear and patient manner. As someone who is new to the instrument, I have found Jeff's periodic check-ins to ensure that the pace of the lessons is appropriate particularly valuable. Additionally, he incorporates enjoyable pieces into the study material, which enhances the learning process. I confidently endorse Jeff's abilities as an instructor!

With 17 years of playing saxophone under my belt, I sought out Jeff's guidance to elevate my skills to the next level. Jeff adeptly met me where I was at and promptly helped me to shore up any gaps in my knowledge. His teaching approach has already made a significant impact on my progress. Each lesson has exceeded my expectations in productivity and enjoyment. Not only is Jeff an expert in wind instruments but he's also easygoing and enjoyable to converse with about one's musical journey. I eagerly anticipate continuing my lessons with Jeff.

Jeff has been an exceptional instructor for my husband in his pursuit of learning the tenor saxophone. My husband eagerly anticipates each lesson with great enthusiasm and diligently practices for his next session. We look forward to experiencing Jeff's live performance soon and I am eagerly anticipating attending his winter showcase.
