Advanced level pianist and teacher of more than 10 years who is passionate about helping others uncover and develop their own story with the piano!

We met Jake through church, and he was an excellent fit for us to start our child’s piano lessons. Jake is flexible and patient and related well to our child. He’s talented and qualified, and I highly recommend him.

Jake was our worship leader at church, and I have worked with Jake at a youth development organization. Jake’s passion for music is deep and his love to serve youth is strong. Jake taught my daughter piano lessons for over a year. I was impressed how prepared he was for every lesson, and taught her to read music. Her skills continued to strengthen while he taught her, and I believe it was because of Jake’s instruction. I highly recommend.

Jake started teaching at the Enrichment Center of Western PA, where I am the executive director. My kids enjoyed his teaching so much that we followed him into private lessons! He’s done a great job being positive and encouraging, working with their special needs, and still holding them accountable. They’ve learned so much and I highly recommend him!

Jake is the kind of piano teacher every parent hopes to find. He is a genuinely gifted musician, and that passion for his craft comes through in every lesson. But what truly sets him apart is how well he connects with his students. My daughter is on the shy side, and from the very beginning Jake created an environment where she felt completely at ease. He makes the piano fun, not just educational, so she stays engaged and actually looks forward to her lessons. If you are looking for a teacher who will meet your child where they are and help them fall in love with music, Jake is your guy. Highly recommend.
