Meet Mr. Jeff, the super cool musician and teacher! Mr. Jeff wears many hats as a multi-instrumentalist musician, songwriter, music teacher, audio engineer, and a former Pre-K Teacher. With a Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential™ in hand, he spent four years guiding and inspiring groups of kiddos on a daily basis in his Preschool Classroom. Music, theatrics, and reading are three of his passions, which he enthusiastically weaves into his classes, performances, original songs and music lessons.
With almost 100,000 views on his YouTube Channel, Mr. Jeff releases really fun and educational Music Videos on his beloved channel for kids.
His live shows are nothing short of high energy interactive extravaganzas, featuring gross motor movement, social emotional learning, and rocking out! (Parents like Mr. Jeff shows, because afterwards they are READY for a nap!) But that's not all! Mr. Jeff's debut original Children's Music Album, "Wonderful Wonderful! Wonderful," is set to hit the scene in Spring 2024. This album is a treasure trove of imaginative original songs like "Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful," "Loud in The Library," and "Poppin' Bubbles." Inspired by circle time in his preschool classroom, he's crafted new Movement songs, including "Driving In My Racecar," "Yeah, Yeah (We’re So Bendy)," and "The Jellyfish Dances Like This."
Mr. Jeff addresses important social emotional themes in songs like "Do What Big Kids Do" and "Lose The 'Tude/Relax," encouraging children to express their feelings. His innate teaching ability shines through in "Mr. Jeff's Numbers Song," and he wraps up the album with a heartfelt love letter to friendship in "Sleepover."
Missing his classroom during the pandemic shutdown, from March to June Mr. Jeff's commitment shone through as he hosted six free LiveStream shows each week, becoming a bright, friendly face for children worldwide. These shows were not just about music; they were a source of connection, learning, and pure fun for children all around the world, earning him a devoted fanbase.
His dedication to children's music and education led him to earn the title of "Best Kids’ Jam Session 2020" by Akron Life Magazine. These days, Mr. Jeff is nurturing the next generation of rockstars through private music lessons and music videos. Beyond children's music, Mr. Jeff, also known as Jeff Klemm, is a prolific musician with four full-length original albums, several EPs, and many singles for grownups.
