Hi there, I’m Jacob, a versatile musician proficient in playing drums, guitar, piano and singing. With my primary focus on drums, I have been performing for 10 years in Los Angeles, and held residency at popular venues such as Downtown Disney and Disney’s California Adventure Food & Wine Festival. For the past two years, I have also been teaching music with established institutions including Irvine School of Music, Los Alamitos Youth Center, Sam Ash Music, and Jazz Angels Long Beach. My experience spans group and private lessons.
Currently, I am in the final semesters of my Bachelor’s degree in Music at Cal State, Fullerton, majoring in Jazz/Commercial Music. As someone who loves to teach, I look forward to working with you! I aim to tailor my teaching style to suit each student's learning style and needs, and help them achieve their goals. And for those students who are unsure of their objectives, we will collaborate to identify them.
Please note that my hourly rate is variable depending on location.

Jacob is amazing! His charming personality and systematic approach make it effortless to comprehend the material. His proficiency in providing analogies makes it simple to grasp niche concepts like the significance of dynamics or rhythm within certain time signatures. As an adult learner, his approach to teaching fosters a musical dialogue, which is incredibly helpful for gaining knowledge.

Jacob is simply amazing. Aside from being a professional drummer who performs on gigs, he is affable and makes every lesson enjoyable! His extensive knowledge of diverse music genres has really enhanced my skills and now, the thought of giving up learning doesn't cross my mind. I truly appreciate all that you do, Jacob!

Due to my absence, Jacob stepped in and taught my students for a few weeks. They all expressed that he was kind, easy to work with, and very organized. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking teaching assistance. 👍👍
