HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
"Learning piano from Jacob has been an enriching musical experience for our 10-year-old son. Adept and quick at assessing our son’s interests, Jacob knows what songs to teach to make learning the piano enjoyable. After just a few months of lessons, our beginning-level son was playing songs from the Lion King, Harry Potter, and the Beatles. It’s been pure joy listening to our son’s piano skills grow with Jacob. We are fortunate to have found not only a dependable and professional music instructor but also a very passionate, patient, and kind teacher for our son."
Joann C. - Long Beach
"He is a skilled musician and fantastic teacher with the ability to make learning fun. Each week Jacob focuses on basic skills as well as what my son wants to learn. It's not always easy to keep a nine-year-old boy motivated, but somehow Jacob is able to inspire my son to try new things and to grow as a musician. He loves his lesson time with Jacob and I have seen a big change in his abilities. I highly recommend Jacob!!"
Andrea N. - Long Beach
"Jacob has been a wonderful drum teacher to our son. He's patient, generous with his time, and very passionate about music. Our son looks forward to his weekly lesson, and has even been able to experience a little of what it's like to play in a band when Jacob accompanies him on the guitar. I highly recommend Jacob as a music teacher to those of any age and level of experience!"
Theresa H. - Long Beach
"Jacob has taught my son drums for 3 years. He took my son from knowing nothing about drums to sitting in for a song with Jacob's trio at South Coast Plaza. Jacob has made learning the drums fun. I highly recommend him!"
Tom T. - Cypress
"I hired Jacob and his trio to play at a cocktail party. I already knew him and his talents so I did not need to do a search. He is a very dedicated professional musician whose life revolves around music. Although they play many types of music well, I prefer to hear them play straight ahead jazz which they excel at. I like how they know when to play a good background music and then when to kick it up and dazzle the crowd. The cocktail party was two years ago and my friends are still talking about it."
