I ask all of my students to be prepared for their lessons with a notebook and pencil for lesson notes and assignments. I ask them to bring any materials they have and will often recommend books and supplemental material I have had success with. I believe in writing down notes that help students understand what they are learning, exactly what students should practice, and setting goals for their practice and overall progress. Read More

I love music and love teaching music to others. This is something I love and care about deeply. I will do nothing but give my best effort to all my students. If you’re willing to put a fair amount of effort into this, you can expect to learn a lot and have a ton of fun. It is so rewarding to get that song or riff down after putting in the effort to learn it. Read More

Through the years, I have compiled sheet music that I wrote out myself of songs that were hard to find/and easier to read. I have hundreds if not thousands of these songs. I start beginner guitar with Neil young songs because they are slow and use basic chords. Also a Pink Floyd song. It has worked for years. From there I teach a Bob Dylan song and sweet home Alabama.

I am an upbeat energetic teacher who loves music and loves teaching. I have played saxophone since I was 8 years old, and I am now in my late 50's. I play professionally for many local Denver bands including jazz, blues, pop, contemporary, and have my own music business to play events at weddings, parties etc. I have traveled The Noreweign Cruise ships twice on jazz cruises and had the opportunity to play with the famous bassist Rufus Reed and saxophonist Lou Donaldson.

I have been teaching music lessons for the past 10 years. I absolutely love it. I have taken students of all ages from knowing nothing to being able to play complicated pieces. It's amazing to see the progression. I can work with you on all aspects (theory, technique, scales, chords, etc.) for all styles of music, in a calm fun environment. My methods change for each student, depending on ability and interest. Read More

In any lesson with me the studeent will be working on technique, ear training, learning music, and learning to play with other people(or "jamming"). The "jamming" section always keep the lessons fun and informative, and teach the student how to play music with other people. And as always, I encourage all of my students to bring in music they enjoy, so that we can work on learning it together. Read More

I began teaching private lessons in Chicago in 2002, while in an Educational Administration Masters Program at DePaul University. I quickly discovered the gratification that comes from sharing and teaching music. I've taught students of all ages and abilities and enjoy the variation in the lessons within this scope. I have taught in conventional school settings as well as from the road while on tour. I currently provide private lessons and group classes on several instruments, both at Swallow Hill Music in Denver, CO and to students worldwide via my website: JarettsJammers.com Read More
