-Joanna F. (adult guitar student)
"My son (7 year old, first time Guitar learner) has been taking private lessons for the past few months and he learned so much! A lot more than I was hoping for. Jakob is extremely thoughtful and patient. He is such a talented musician with lots of experience of teaching music to young kids. My son always looks forward to his lessons every week. I highly recommend Jacob!"
-Chiha M. (parent of new student)
"If you want to learn music, Jakob Pek is your teacher. You will find many teachers who will teach you to read music notes and play them, but Jakob goes beyond that and makes you feel the music and play it the way you want to. Improvisation is a big highlight of Jakob's teaching. His classes are fun and he makes it very interesting. I would highly recommend him".
-Kunal D. (father of six year old piano student)
"Jakob is an amazing music instructor who has launched my piano playing to a completely new level. He understands music theory better than anyone that I have ever met and is able to break it down into digestible pieces and make it tangible and directly applicable.
He is also quite eclectic and has been pushing me in all sorts of interesting ways, having me explore a number of unique musical genres which illustrate the lessons. Finally, Jakob has an instructional style which is gentle and very encouraging and always leaves me feeling accomplished and inspired afterwards. I highly recommend Jakob to anyone looking for an excellent guitar or piano instructor."
-Eli R. (adult piano student)

-Aditya C. (parent of 11 year old student)
"Jakob is providing a consummate musical education for our son. He keeps it fun , challenging and engaging while providing a foundation for future learning and musical exploration. The end goal for our son is musical literacy and after 2 1/2 years with Jakob he is well on his way."
-Phil D. (parent of 11 year old student)
"Jakob has been working with my son since he picked up the guitar at age 7 and, four years later, I am still very happy with his teaching. Jakob is patient and kind with students. My son really enjoys the time they spend together. He has not just provided exceptional basic guitar instruction, but has also taught my son how to read music, taught him music theory, and broadened his musical knowledge in general.
I have been so satisfied with Jakob's work that I have happily recommended him to other parents looking for guitar instruction for their children, and I know those lessons have also been a success. Jakob is both a great teacher and a skilled musician! Highly recommended."
