Jake has taught a variety of group music classes, grades one through eight, in the New York City public school system and maintains a studio of weekly private students. He has also been a guest lecturer at New York University, Bard College, and Brown University. His pedagogy stems from his roots in improvisation and aims to inspire young people to develop a voraciously self-motivated and deeply personal relationship to music. |
