Jingle Jamboree Music

My daughters in Gr 1 and 4 had a wonderful time at Jeff’s musical summer camp last year when they did the Sound of Music. The girls learned so much and made wonderful friends, several with whom they continue to keep in touch. A lot of this probably has to do with the fact that Jeff was able to draw from his wealth of experience working with children to cultivate a fun and communal learning environment. I was especially impressed by the briefing session Jeff organized for the children enrolled at summer camp weeks BEFORE the camp to set expectations, distribute scripts and music and help the children break the ice over a pizza lunch, so that they could hit the ground running on Day 1 of camp. We have since returned to Japan, where we’re from, but my girls have vowed to return to Jingle Jamboree next summer (if we can afford it time– and money-​wise!).

Best Music camp ever! Our girl enjoyed two summer music camps with Jingle Jeff this summer, the second performing «the Sound of music», a dream to me as that is one of my favorite movies and to her as it was her first time in from of an audience. We are definitely coming back. thank you Jeff for sharing your talent, positive attitude, care and love.

Best music introduction to you give your kids. I have been referring friends to Jingle’s Jeff’s music classes for years and just realized that I never reviewed him on Unilocal.
We first found Jingle Jeff at our son’s preschool, where he is the music director. Our son has been taking music classes at Jingle Jeff’s private studio for about 3 years, since age 3, and our daughter in the last year. Jingle Jeff is an amazing and creative music teacher — having attended numerous music classes over 3 years, I am surprised at how varied the classes are. Our kids love Jingle Jeff. I always bring my lap top to work and find myself engrossed in the class instead.
Aside from all the research out there on music and brain development, I believe that fact that our son was introduced to Kodaly at an early age help him in other areas, as language acquisition. He was able to pick up Mandarin, a tonal language fairly quickly, because he could hear the tones in the language.
I am surprised that there are only a couple of Unilocal reviews — -maybe it’s the best kept secret. I don’t give that many Unilocal reviews but Jingle Jeff definitely warrants one. We still drive from Orinda, where we live now, to Albany so our kids can attend Jingle Jeff’s classes.

I found this program on Unilocal shortly after we moved to Albany. Words can’t describe how great this program is. My 2 year old enjoyed the toddler class on Wednesday mornings and my 5 year old loved the pre-​K class on Fridays. At home, they sing the same songs together and make up new songs with the tunes. Thank you Jingle Jeff.

Jeff is talented, competent, and caring. He is positive, diversity-​oriented, and caring. One day my kid was too cold, he called me and right away said that she was fine, but cold, could I bring her some warmer clothes? It made an impression on me :)

Bravo! This must be one of the BEST camps available in the summer!
We sent our younger boy to Jingle Jamboree for the past 2 weeks. OMG. My boy had wonderful time & lessons on various instruments. Gush sky is the limit for those little ones. My 4.5 yr boy was fascinated by all the new instruments he tried & enjoyed. He now tells me he wants piano, violin & dancing. All the kids in the camp got along very well. Every child had super time.
Jingle Jeff is one brilliant music teacher. In fact he’s our boys’ favorite teacher. Great with children & full of music talents. Never a dull moment with Jeff’s music camp. We are so pleased with the results & my boy’s interests in music. My boy was happy singing different tunes every day at bath tub, dinner, bed story time… He also demonstrated how he played new instruments and the sound. THE BEST 2 WEEK CAMP EVER!
I highly highly recommend Jingle Jamboree Music camp. Furthermore, I wish our charter school can work out the after school schedule to have Jeff as our music teacher. Some of our friends have signed their children up for this camp later on this summer as well.
I want to share our experience with everyone. Hard to find teachers who teach, care & deliver. We have JINGLE JEFF. Go Jeff =)

My daugher attended both classes and summer camp, and had Jeff as a music teacher in her preschool; all experiences were wonderful. Jeff is very dedicated to his teaching and to giving children a solid foundation in expressing their musicality. Stephanie has been enriched by his teaching. We would recommend Jingle Jamboree programs without hesitation.

We love Jingle Jamboree. My son and I attended two sessions of the infant music class and it was an all-​around great experience. It’s a great place to meet other moms with other young babes and perfect for breaking the ice… just put it out there mommas! «Hey, feel like getting coffee or something after class? » Sure!
We learn lots of unique songs that you won’t hear at your typical music time events and the babies get to experiment with sound, and instruments. Jingle Jeff is a joy and his enthusiasm is contagious. I only wish classes were a little bit longer.
