TESTIMONIALS FROM STUDENTS:

“One of the most worthwhile investments I have made in my music education. Jake not only teaches key music theory concepts, but helps you apply them in a fun and engaging way.  What I’ve learned has opened up a new world of possibilities for composing, understanding and appreciating music.” – Andrew

“I’ve been under the wing of Jake for about 3 months now and I was starting from basically zero in open D-slide. He’s a very knowledgeable musician of the fretboard, theory and with tons of patience and able to convey music to me so I can understand. Highly recommended!” – Howard

“In 20 years of playing piano and guitar, I’ve not only learnt more about music theory over the last 6 months with Jake, but I’ve also never enjoyed playing as much as I do now. I had a single goal: be able to play freely all over the neck for an hour, without repeating myself or needing sheet music to play. The bar has been quickly raised to a much higher level. Great teacher and great dude. It’s like playing and learning with a friend. The nerdiness on music theory is second to none, and always focused on applying it to musical ideas! Would recommend this to anybody who is passionate about learning their instrument.” – Erwi4
