Teaching
Coffin has been a Yamaha Performing Artist and clinician since 2000 and has given over 300 music clinics at Colleges, Universities, High Schools and JR High Schools from Farmington, Maine to Perth, Australia. His wide variety of teaching methods and his ability to connect with students and teachers alike have won him numerous accolades from educators who feel Coffin's ability to inspire their students has left it's mark for a lifetime. Today, when on and off the road, Jeff continues to work with students and is very involved with music education systems, believing that the arts define our culture. He speaks passionately about the necessity of public school music programs and encourages young and old to speak out and rally against their continued demise.
