"Silly, Fun and Original Children's Music for Kids, Created by a Teacher!"
Meet Mr. Jeff, the super cool musician and teacher! Mr. Jeff wears many hats as a multi-instrumentalist musician, songwriter, music teacher, audio engineer, producer 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," 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."
Mr. Jeff also created the companion full-length album “Slumberful Slumberful Slumberful” featuring instrumental Dreamy Piano versions of all the songs from “Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful.” Perfect for naptime, studying, or relaxing!
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. He's spent the last decade traveling, touring, and performing in 41 states with his various bands.
Notably, Mr. Jeff is not just an artist but also the proud father of three wonderful children! He resides in Cuyahoga Falls, OH, with his super-talented and awesome wife, Jillian. Mr. Jeff's journey is a harmonious blend of passion, creativity, enthusiasm and unwavering dedication, establishing him as a bright star in the realm of children's music and education.

As a multi instrumentalist, when I write, It starts in so many different ways. Sometimes the idea is on drums, bass, guitar, or a just a melody in my head. Then I build the rest of the song and production off that foundation. However to really know if the song is good, it must be distilled down to its most basic form to see if it works. That's what I did here. Slowed it down, took out all the studio bells and whistles, left the echoes of words and played it on the piano with two hands. Rhythm, melody, harmony and a whole lot of feel. Since I'm not the best pianist, it took a while to play and this is an imperfect recording. I’m proud of what I made! I'd like to thank my wife Jillian for pushing me to work on this project. It would have gotten done probably next year or never if she hadn't nudged and believed in me! I'll thank my kids too because they've heard the songs a WHOLE BUNCH over the last month with different versions and updated mixes and masters. Fun fact: while I was checking one of the final masters in my (parked) car, I actually fell asleep! So if it works on the creator, it might work for you or your kids! 🪼 💤🪼
