Music Lessons
Hello and welcome to my studio! I teach private music lessons around Northern New Jersey and am accepting new beginner to intermediate piano students, and drumset students of any experience level. My students have ranged in age from as young as 3 years old, all the way up to college students, and occasionally grown-ups as well. I value my role as an educator very much and work hard to teach thoughtfully and intentionally so that my students can discover and play.​
​
I studied Jazz and Music Education at Northwestern University, where I developed an approach to teaching that is grounded both in formal pedagogical techniques and the capability to perform on my instrument at a professional level. I offer individualized lesson plans that cater to the strengths, interests, and goals of each of my students, though all of my lessons are centered around the tenets of technique, theory, listening & language, and repertoire.

"I started taking lessons with Jared to help me pass the audition for music school. He went through each component of the audition materials with me and gave me really helpful ways to prepare."

“We could tell right away how much Jared cared about making our daughter's lessons enjoyable and well-rounded. We look forward to each lesson. I'm grateful that Jared is such a positive influence in her week.”
