"Not everyone who makes music can teach music. Jeff Gee can do both"
I help students with songwriting , improvisation and playing from the heart. I help students understand the music theory behind chord progressons, creating solos and riffs, lyric writing and much more. I have a passion for making these things easy to understand. If you are a creative individual seeking to unlock your confidence as a music creator I can help. ..here are a couple of youtube examples: https://youtu.be/miJCgiT81Qs https://youtu.be/SVUobrsmla8 https://youtu.be/ouaA2b9eJg8 https://youtu.be/9kQ5paYa3nQ https://youtu.be/dzT4U1voTZ4
Here are a few testimonials from previous students:
Jeff is an excellent teacher because he knows music and has passion. Jeff makes learning fun and he is so easy to talk with. I highly recommend him. (Audrey Patrice)
Jeff was the best voice teacher our children have ever had. He was thoughtful, knowledgeable, inspirational, patient and fun! Our girls learned quite a bit about singing from him. One daughter was a conventional learner, yet the other daughter had a hard time sitting still in a traditional classroom. Jeff was able to connect with each child and build each child’s confidence and singing skills.

Jeff has been teaching my 9 year old son for over 5 years (both in person and virtually) and can adapt his teaching style to meet any situation and age group! My child has trouble with attention and is hyperactive, but Jeff found creative ways to engage him in lessons and peek his interest in music. I highly recommend Jeff Gee for musicians of all ages and skill levels - money well spent!

Jeff was a great guitar teacher from my son. He started with single songs that were fun and made my son feel confident about his playing. Jeff organized beautiful concerts with kids of all ages he taught voice and different instruments. It was such a beautiful evening. Jeff is talented with much, teaching and has a giant ❤️ heart. We miss him dearly

Not everyone who makes music can teach music. Jeff Gee can do both. Music is an art born out of passion and expressed in undefinable ways - something which Jeff has mastered. I've been teaching school for 38 years with the latter part of those years in the fine arts department. I invited Jeff into my classroom to teach one day. My students are a hard audience, but Jeff broke through those barriers and had them hanging on every word and note! His friendliness and passion combined with infectious enthusiasm and rapport enabled the kids (and I) to bond with him immediately! Jeff Gee is the go-to musician/teacher for anyone looking to join the world of music! - Tracey Erak-Lundquist
I started studying acoustic guitar as a brand new student with Jeff about 5 years ago, taking lessons from him for about 18 months on a weekly basis. His knowledge of the fretboard and of music theory and how to practice is such that he can teach and explain concepts in a way that is digestible for the novice. Of course, any expectation of fulfilling your goals of becoming a proficient and even confident guitarist comes with a fair amount of sweat equity. Jeff makes that clear, but he is there with you every step of the way to inspire and teach you. Fast forward to now and I am a proficient guitarist that plays occasional (post- COVID lockdown) gigs and will even be playing for a wedding accompanying vocalists this Fall.

Greyson really enjoyed his piano lessons with Jeff Gee. He made the lessons fun, and we could see at recitals how much he really supports each student's success. Jeff even allowed Greyson to decide shortly before a recital to toss in an acapella performance of "Blackbird."

Every student is a unique individual with strong points of their own. I feel that it is my job to help each student recognize his/her own gifts. it is my goal to put as much ability and power in to the students hands as possible, giving you the techniques to improvise, play by ear and create your own music. I value every students individual sense of creativity and have a desire to show you how you can play from your heart and have your creations be musically sound and meaningful to yourself and to others.
I have a diploma in Jazz and commercial music from Spokane falls Community college. Also a certificate from Berklee online as a professional singer/songwriter. I have played keyboard in many professional bands as a sideman and I have played keyboard, guitar and vocal as a solo artist in wineries, special events, weddings and nightclubs. Since 1996 I have taught students ranging from small children to adults.

I want to show you how with a relatively limited number of concepts, techniques and mind sets you can be the type of artist that is successful in creating meaningful and moving music in the style(s) that you choose. My method revolves around the memorization of a finite amount of skills which can be used in a multitude of different ways giving you the student (the artist) the keys to creating music. I recommend any and all of the Berklee press songwriters workshop series. These books are a great resource to own yet there are no required texts to study with me. I like to help each student to clearly define his/her goals in music learning so that I know how I can be most helpful as a teacher.
