Kjos Music Company, Wingert-Jones Music, and C-Alan Publications. Jeffrey’s choral music is distributed exclusively by MusicSpoke.com. Jeffrey’s music is marked by strong pedagogical influences along with a traditional style that is at times reminiscent of the Renaissance period. He values melody and harmonic structure and strives to engage the audience as much as the performers through his music. He has appeared as a conductor/clinician for regional and state orchestras in Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Minnesota, Texas, Oregon and South Carolina. His conducting style is marked by attention to detail, a strong sense of humor, and the realization that every ensemble has different challenges and strengths. He believes that every ensemble is capable of reaching their ultimate potential through hard work, dedication, and practice!
