I was a student of Jack's on Music Teachers, and I can't recommend him enough. He is an excellent teacher, very friendly, engaging, and approachable. He made learning the bass guitar very accessible and easy to understand. Jack is a dedicated music instructor who practices what he preaches and is wholeheartedly dedicated to his craft. Again, I can't recommend him enough.
I've been working with Jack over the past few years and I can confidently say that my skills have come on leaps and bounds over our time together. He's been a very patient teacher and has helped me build my confidence in myself. I'd honestly recommend Jack to anyone who struggles with performance anxiety as his gentle yet confident approach helped me thrive. Thank you so much for all your time Jack!
Jack is fantastic and super enthusiastic and friendly! You will not go wrong!
