  • "My son has had music theory and production lessons by Jack for a couple of years now and he loves it. That's my main concern. However from a parents perspective, Jack has been an excellent teacher, he has improved my son's musicality and knowledge of performance, recording and audio engineering. His communication is clear and constant, so I always know what he's up to and if I need to help in some way. Jack has helped my son improve his grades and appreciate his musical journey, so I do not hesitate to recommend Jack for lessons."
