About
My goal is to teach my students what THEY want to learn. I always encourage my students to introduce me to their favorite music so I can listen to it, learn it, and teach it to them via a step by step process that includes personalized instructional videos. The aim of my lessons is that the student is anxious to practice and come back genuinely wanting to learn more because they are learning something that means something to them! As a teacher and as a human being in general, we are always learning. So what I enjoy about teaching is that I actually learn from my students as much as they learn from me. Especially with art and music, where everyone has their own individual and unique way of expressing themselves, it is always a pleasure to learn and work together from contrasting perspectives all focused towards the same goal: playing music and having a good time doing so!

Hired on Thumbtack

On a whim, I decided to pick it up the guitar after trying once earlier in college but knew it would be difficult with my very busy work schedule. Enter Jacob who has been nothing but an absolute joy to learn from! From his flexibility to work around my schedule, to the personalized Youtube videos he sends me to reinforce our lessons, to the genuine interest he takes in my success...I honestly couldn't have been happier with my decision. I selfishly wish he didn't take on more students, but also know that it would be a crime not to share his talents with the world. Do yourself a favor and don't think twice!

I can't recommend Jacob highly enough. Not only is he a super nice guy, but he is an excellent teacher. He is patient, dedicated, and very talented. He really listened to what I wanted to get out of lessons, and catered his lesson plans to my desires and goals. He even put together some really helpful videos for me (on his own time)! so I could continue learning at my own pace. Jacob is also very flexible with scheduling. I couldn't be happier with my choice to higher him!
