My name is Jacob, and I am a musician and songwriter in Massachusetts.I attended Berklee College of Music and have been teaching privately as my primary job for 7+ years. In 2020 I shifted my teaching primarily online and found methods that connected with students even from a distance.I decided to bring those methods to recorded curriculum, and for the last two years I have been creating and sharing online lessons.
