Education

"My job is not simply to teach you how to play music. It is to give you the tools and inspiration to play and love music, to follow your ear and learn eventually through self-study. By studying with me, you will learn how to play your instrument with technique and musicality, use your ear in conjunction with theory, and appreciate music in ways you may not have considered."

Take lessons in:

voice, guitar, bass, piano, composition/songwriting, arrangement, music theory, ear training, band leadership

Jacob is available for lessons in NYC or online with Skype.

“Jacob is a natural teacher, a talented artist, and we have been very lucky to have him… his enthusiasm was contagious with the students.”
