Jacob V., Trumpet Teacher, Brooklyn
(718) 608-6080
About Me:
I learn as much as I can about the student, getting them to open up thru humor and discussing interests besides music. If something is bothering them it's going to effect their concentration. I want them to feel that music can be a way to channel their feelings into something that provides release. I believe that sometimes the best thing for a student is to have a witness while he/she works out an idea. The basis of this relationship is that I want them to feel that they can attempt things that are beyond their reach.
