Piano Lessons in Fairfield

Hi! I’m Teacher Jim (or Piano Teacher Jim) (or Mr. Jacoby)…you choose!

With over 20 years of experience teaching students of all ages, I teach to share my love and enjoyment of music.

My goal is to give students an appreciation for all styles of music while improving their reading, listening, and performance skills.

Much attention is given to the expressive nature of music, and I give students the tools to facilitate that expression.

My strength is in knowing what learning styles work best for each student. Plus, I am the ideal combination of personal and professional. I have an open mind and the versatility to be able to deal with any type of repertoire for every type of student.

Beyond teaching, I have spent countless years as a piano accompanist and music director who has worked with numerous theater directors, voice teachers, actors, singers, and students.

I graduated from Syracuse University with a B.A. in Fine Arts/Music History.
