Jacob Hey! My name is Jacob and I teach drums / guitar at Guitar Village. It is my goal as a teacher to help my students become independent learners and find their own musical voice. On the drums, we will learn the foundations of contemporary drumming, technique, sight reading, improvisation and how that all relates to your favourite songs! On the guitar, we will learn the basic chords, techniques, and scales that go into creating our own songs, as well as how your favourite artists have used them. I play for a number of bands around Melbourne that vary in style, and have a bachelor of Music (Jazz & Improvisation) from the University of Melbourne. Whatever musical direction my students want to take, I will be able to help!
