The Butterfield Effect: Drum Lessons in Toronto

Jeff is a fantastic teacher. He did such a good job with my kids that I've become a student. He's very good at adapting his teaching style to the pupil.I'd recommend Jeff twelve out of ten times.

Jeff was my first drum teacher and continues to be my “go to” guy as I continue to learn. I appreciate that Jeff is a really well rounded music educator. Whether you’re a young or mature learner Jeff can help get you where you are hoping to get!

Our daughter has taken lessons with Jeff for about 8 years. He has fostered her love of drums and music with his patient and expert instruction. She now performs with confidence and just loves playing. Our daughter actually told us that Jeff is her favourite teacher of anything--ever!

Jeff is an amazing teacher! He is super patient with my 7 year old and really know how to tailor the lessons to the student. My son looks forward to his drum lesson every week.

Jeff is one of the best drum instructors I've ever had. He is patient, observant, knowledgeable, and takes into account my musical interests when setting up a teaching plan. Highly recommend him.

My experience with Jeff is awesome! I always look forward on my every lessons. We go at my own pace & I don't feel pressured. After signing up my very first drumming lesson last year with Jeff I feel accomplished! I never thought I can play drums in my life, however, I totallycan because Jeff is so patient & have great techniques in teaching! He breaks down the steps & he helped on my weaknesses. Thank you so much Jeff!

Jeff is a fantastic drum teacher! I've been taking lessons with Jeff for almost five years now, initially in-person and now virtually, and he does amazingly with both mediums. I really appreciate his teaching style and patience. Jeff always goes above and beyond to find creative ways to help me work through my challenges when learning a new skill or piece of music. He is encouraging and does a great job of balancing teaching through both rudiments and fun songs!

I wanted to learn to drum for my 47th birthday, and am I ever glad I did. Jeff is the perfect drum teacher. He is infinitely patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and versatile–he can teach you any song in any genre. (If he has ever grown weary of my affection for 90's alternative, he has kept it well hidden.) And as I have progressed over the years, Jeff has helped me improve at each step. Currently, we are working on 'mastering' the rudiments. Something I didn't think I could enjoy as much as I am. If you have ever even toyed with learning the drums, don't waste any more time. Just do it. It's the most fun thing I have ever done.
