Welcome to Character Haven! My name is Jeff. I began working with children as a substitute teacher for two years in Syracuse, NY. I also taught private guitar lessons to a variety of ages. This is my seventh year teaching at Sherburne-Earville CSD as an elementary general music teacher and choral teacher. I enjoy writing songs for the elementary students at Sherburne-Earville based around the character trait of each month of the school year. I'll be adding to the list as I continue to write.
