“Jeff is a great, patient teacher.”

“Jeff did a very good job getting me out of my comfort zone with leading songs and attempting breaks.”

“Jeff was very accommodating of people at different skill levels, patient with a group of varied talents.”

“Jeff worked very hard to prepare for this class and his love of music was infectious.”
“Jeff’s positive energy and solid knowledgeability were a real inspiration. The class was fun and Jeff was a fabulous leader!”
“Even though I am still in beginner level, Jeff managed to blend us all in & push us just enough. I learned more in this jam class than I have in the 4 years or so I’ve had my banjo.”
