About Jeff
People come to music for a great number of reasons, consequently I tailor my lessons to each individual student's needs and wants.
We learn different ways. Some of us are more visual, some more tactile, some more intuitive, some more cerebral, etc. Understanding this allows me to adapt to each student's most natural mode of learning so that the material is grasped more easily (therefore more quickly), and so that it is retained longer.
I would be honored to share my musical experience and knowledge with you.
As a supplement to my steady job as a traveleing musician, I began teaching English as a Second Language in Switzerland.
I did that for five years before I became the director of a franchise language school in the Canary Islands. I spent three years on Tenerife.
I found that seeing "the light go on" in student's heads was a very gratifying feeling. I became aware that watching people progress and succeed by my efforts was actually my calling.
I love teaching, and I love teaching music! I'm so very lucky to be able work at my dream job and make it my life!

English
My initial job is to determine: Level, Goals, and Needs.
Once I have found out where the student wants to go, I give them what they need to know in order to achieve it!
Over the course of more than three decades as a teacher, I have worked with all ages from 4 or 5 upwards.
I have also been trained to work with many kinds of challenged students, including downs, adhd, autism, etc. with great success.
Having lived in France, Switzerland, and Spain, I am fluent in Spanish, German, and French and I also give (and have given) music lessons in all of those langugages.
I have worked with students of all different ages, capabilities, and nationalities, and I easily adapt to the students most natural mode of learning.
A student can only advance as far as their instructor's level of knowledge.
You owe it to yourself to seek out the most qualified expert in your field of interest - someone who will take you all the way and not hold you back.
Everyone moves further, much faster, and is more likely to stay engaged by learning from a master teacher with a lifetime of real-world experience to share.
I am the front man and lead singer in a Jazz ensemble "7he Sep7e7".
We have three horns (trumpet, alto sax, tenor sax), and the four rhythm section members (drums, bass, guitar, piano).
I am also the musical director, and I write and arrange all the parts for all the instruments.
I'm very fond of rehearsing and performing with such a great group of people!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
If the student has a question or needs to define their goals, the best way is to take the bull by the horns!
Everyone has dfferent interests, the student should make themselves clear from the outset about the kinds of music they are passionate about!

Details
I charge a monthy a flat-rate. Most everybody takes one half-hour lesson per week - usually the same day and the same time (although I always try to be flexible in special cases).
Over the course of a year, you are guaranteed to receive 48 lessons (ca. 4 per month).
I don't charge extra for a "five-week month". I also don't charge less if there happens to be a holiday resulting in only three lessons in a given month.
It all works out in the end (and saves me a lot of penny-ante bookkeeping). If you come every time, you will for sure get 48 lessons over the course of a year and you'll probably 49 or 50 or maybe even 51.
But you won't get 52, because I always take off the last week of the year.
Those extra free lessons are just my way of thanking you for your loyalty!
