Testimonials
'My daughter has been taking violin lessons for two years with Jacob. I have been very, very pleased with him as a music teacher. He has really done an excellent job with the lessons. My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed them, and has made great progress. We have been enjoying listening to her play. Jacob is most conscientious and organized, and communications regarding lessons have been very simple. All in all, he is so proficient at explaining technique and in guiding my daughter's progress. Thank you, Jacob!!' - Parent B. Morkos
