Aloha!!! My name is Kawenaulaokala Mann. I am a kumu hula (hula teacher) presently living in Japan. Since moving here in 2008, it became apparent to me that my ability to play music on a professional level was greatly lacking. I have always wanted to seek a kind and patient guitar teacher, someone that could help me reach my personal goals. Up until recently, finding a teacher in Japan has been difficult because of the language barrier. Today, I am thankful for having found a GREAT teacher in Jeff. My lessons are done on Skype. I learn in the comfort of my own home while avoiding the language problems. Jeff has been so patient throughout his lessons. He certainly does his work with an uncanny amount of respect and integrity. Jeff always offers a positive word of encouragement to make me feel relaxed whereby I feel I am able to do the guitar lesson at hand. And, more importantly, his fee for his service, expertise and knowledge has been affordable and reasonable. I am certain that if you spent a few minutes learning with Jeff you will find as I do that he is God sent. I believe I can be a guitar hero because of him.
