Jacob Kelly

FOUNDER//teacher
 

Hi, my name is Jacob (he/him)! I’ve been teaching music lessons since I was in high school but music has been part of my life for much longer. I took my first music lessons when I lived in Accra, Ghana from a man named Rev. At the time, my career ambition was to learn to play Crazy Frog on guitar. Fast forward to now and I have a B.A. in Music Composition from Seattle Pacific University, I’ve played on over a dozen albums including my own full length album, and I’ve toured the western U.S. many times. More importantly, I’m a continual learner and a believer that music and art are crucial components of our own lives and central parts of a thriving community.
