Intro***
Hi, My name is Jeff Keefer, I've enjoyed Teaching Guitar, Bass Guitar & Piano to 100's of students, Male & Female (Ages 13 & Up)..for over 20 years. Experience in both , Teaching, and Performing, along with plenty of patience and enthusiasm, I feel makes me an ideal Teaching Candidate!!!
Student Requirements***
I would expect my guitar students to own(or have) their own instrument. If upon inspection I see it's unplayable, I would try and recommend necessary repairs,etc. (same applies for bass students..and piano(especially the tuning..if not electric). .I would want all my students to have a spiral notebook. I MAY suggest method books,etc.during the course of lessons, when appropriate, but in most cases Students will receive handouts of any Curriculum.
*** Specialties ***
I teach popular Contemporary styles(Rock, Country, Folk, Pop&Ballads, Jazz).. My method, though flexible, tends to lean towards accompaniment. Learning to play their instrument along w/ their favorite song, w/ their own singing(or someone else)..or playing at some point w/ other musicians. So to me it's about "SONGS". Learning the songs they like ,they in turn are learning a better understanding of their instrument. ..A better understanding of their instrument, and they can attempt a wider range of song material. It's one big circle, and I instill this to all my students, one way or another.
**My Piano Method Is Ideal for Adults w/No Sightreading ability...it's Chord Based ..and Ideal for Contemporary Styles(Pop, Rock & Ballads).

Teacher's studio
He is a great music teacher, period. Perfect for anyone who wants to learn piano, guitar or bass, in a simple, affordadle, and highly understandable way. I love the way he teaches, as it makes learning guitar fun, and I look forward to my lessons and practicing at home. He gives 45 minute lessons but they can extend sometimes, which is great. Also, he is super flexible, so rescheduling and changing a practice time with him is very easy. Overall, Jeff is a great music teacher with great skills and a great love for teaching people one of his passions.
