What People Are Saying About Us. (Pretty cool, right?)
Music has always been my core focus in life and I enjoy helping students of all ages reach their musical goals! I love music of all kinds and am proficient in classical, jazz, soul, pop, rock, punk, hip-hop, latin, and more; as well as picking up influences from the various places I've lived- New Jersey, Hawaii, and Seattle.
I grew up in Princeton, New Jersey and began studying basic music at the age of 5. I started classical guitar lessons at the age of 10 and was fortunate to learn from Alice Artzt who is a renowned American concert guitarist and teacher. I've also studied classical voice since I was 8 and toured with The Princeton Girlchoir. Later, I attended Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle and received a bachelors in music in 2006. Currently, I write and perform original music in the Seattle area.

Jason C,
Great teacher!
I only had the opportunity to study with Jacob for a few months, but I really enjoyed our lessons and learned a lot. He's an excellent guitarist, is very well versed in music theory and has many strategies he can teach you to help learn different techniques and concepts. He's also a very cool guy and very dedicated to his music. If I wasn't moving I'd definitely continue my lessons with him.

Daniel R's Review
My son has only had a few lessons so far but we are both pleased with Greg. My son's previous teacher was very good and found learning opportunities in music my son wanted to learn. That was excellent for my son starting out. Greg has continued that but is also bringing in more structured instruction to fill in the basics and teach music reading as well. His previous teacher was going to head that way so I'm glad we found Greg to continue what he started.
