Testimonial From Mike Knapick

This is a testimonial for Jeff Thomas, Uke, Bass, and guitar teacher. I have taken weekly lessons from Jeff for 10 months.The reasons that I like taking lessons from Jeff:
  • He was very helpful in getting me set up for Skype and PayPal which I had never used before.
  • He is able to troubleshoot Skype problems when I have them.
  • His email communications are prompt.
  • He is flexible if I have to be absent for a lesson.
  • The lessons feel “live” because his ears and eyes catch all my areas that need improvement.
  • He wants to work on music that I like to play and listen to.
  • His handwritten, self-composed tablature is incredibly detailed and has all the information needed to know what the left and right hand should be doing.
  • He is patient and encouraging when I’m not satisfied with my progress.
  • His process: He walks me through learning the chords, picking, and strumming in an individual piece. Next we work on counting aloud while playing. Next we put it to the metronome. Next we work on musicality without counting or metronome.
  • He helps me breakdown areas of difficulty into manageable segments.
  • I truly enjoy his professional expertise in working with me, the amateur enthusiast.
Sincerely,
Mike Knapick <

Testimonial From Liz

I started weekly skype ukulele lessons with Jeff in early 2014. Jeff brings an incredible depth of technical knowledge, playing prowess and teaching experience to his lessons. He has a structured approach to presenting and explaining music and has tailored his teaching style to suit my playing level, strengths and musical interests.

He prepares for each of our lessons to support my progress and is patient and humorous which makes the lesson fun. I recommend Jeff for ukulele and guitar players at all levels.

Testimonial From Jenny Brown

I have been learning ukulele with Jeff via skype for about 12 months now, and during that time he has expanded my skills and knowledge beyond all recognition. Any song you want to learn - from pop to rock, blues, jazz or country - and Jeff will come up with a fabulous arrangement, complete with clear tabs, chord diagrams and recommended fingering.

His patience and good-humour are endless, no matter how many bum notes! I would recommend Jeff without reservation to everyone from novices to seasoned players. I am delighted to have him not only as a teacher, but also as a friend.
