Catherine M. says, "I could tell that Jesse takes a personal, individualized approach for each student. He asked about my goals and musical tastes, and then he got to know how I learn best. I already had experience playing classical violin and piano, and Jesse has taught me how to play rock bass, guitar, and keys. He helped me gain confidence in playing without sheet music, improvising, and memorizing parts. He was patient with me as I struggled, but he also pushed me because he knew I could do it. One of the other things that stands out to me about Jesse as a teacher is that he really tries to help students achieve small wins in every lesson, so you know you're making some progress and you're energized to continue practicing."See more
