About Me

Learn what only personalized instruction from an attentive teacher can provide.

"I want to make good citizens. If a child hears fine music from the day of his birth and learns to play it himself, he develops sensitivity, discipline and endurance. He gets a beautiful heart."
--Shin'ichi Suzuki (creator of the Suzuki Method)

I am a professional musician, educator, and music therapist in training who has traveled the world musically... and literally! I look forward to ...

Lesson Details

I work with my students to help them reach the musical goals they want to achieve, whether that is learning to play songs, read music, develop proper technique, soloing, or some combination of all. I incorporate ear training in all of my teaching, especially for beginner students. I acknowledge what each student does well and focus my lessons on their weaknesses. I am patient and strongly believe that students should enjoy music and that it should not be a chore. As such, I try to work with material that my students like and at a pace that suits them. Although not overly strict or harsh, I nevertheless feel it is critical to make sure students stay on track in order to make progress and achieve their goals.

Jeffrey has been a Jersey City private music instructor for TakeLessons since 2010. Jeffrey is a certified local music teacher.
