Jake loves all kinds of music. He believes that there is something of value in all art forms, regardless of subjective taste. He also believes that a true master can hop from genre to genre.
Similarly, he is motivated to continue improving on all his favorite instruments: Piano, Guitar, Drums, Bass, Synth, Mallets, Bowed Strings, and Brass. Jake hopes to add woodwinds to his family.
