About the Teacher: Patience and enthusiasim are Jake's cornerstones. He sets tangible goals for students and is always bringing in new concepts to keep the lessons fresh and interesting. He asks a lot from his students, but in return gives them the tools necessary to push forward. Due to his difficult start in drumming, Jake has a very clear concept of common problems in early musical development and how to work through them. His philosophy; Anybody Can Drum!
