Information About Jake - Edgware teacher -

(1 review)

Personal Description:

I'm a outgoing and enthusiastic individual with a deep passion for music. I am fortunate to be involved in two original projects, Bare Jams and Dogbowl Productions, which have allowed me to tour the globe with some of the best up-and-coming players the UK has to offer, performing at amazing festivals and venues on a regular basis.

These projects have facilitated the exploration of numerous genres, including Pop, Grime, Jazz, Funk, Reggae, Afrobeat, Drum & Bass, Garage, and more. This has also opened the door to the exploration of sounds through FX pedals, which I find incredibly enjoyable.

I hold a Trinity Guildhall Jazz Grade 8, ABRSM Grade 8 (with distinction), ABRSM Performance Diploma, ABRSM Grade 5 Theory, and a BSc in Music Technology. I strongly believe that having a basic understanding of music technology is essential for musicians, as it plays a significant role in live performances and recording sessions.

With my knowledge and passion, I am dedicated to helping you take your saxophone playing to the next level.
