For kids, teens, and adults — beginner to professional
hi, I’m Jake
I’m a working singer-songwriter with real industry experience and a BFA in Drum Performance. Alongside writing, recording, and releasing full-length albums, I’ve had the privilege of teaching students of all ages and skill levels — from complete beginners to professional artists.
My lessons balance structure and creativity, combining solid musical foundations with space for exploration and self-expression. I’m especially passionate about making lessons beginner-friendly and confidence-building, while also supporting deeper musical growth for more experienced students.
Rather than focusing only on drills and exercises, I emphasize musical expression — understanding how music works, how it feels, and how to use it creatively. I support hobbyists, serious students, and aspiring artists alike, tailoring each lesson to individual goals.
Whether you want to play for fun, write original songs, or develop as an artist, lessons are designed to meet you where you are and help you grow in a way that feels meaningful and inspiring.
