Instruments: Guitar, Rock Band Instructor
Jake Chisholm has been teaching at Snider Music for over 15 years. He first started as a Saturday regular and taught rock, blues, jazz and improvisation to adults and young beginners. In 2012 when we started our rock band program, Jake was the perfect choice to head up this new program. As a veteran of the Toronto music scene, Jake certainly knows what it takes to play in band...and what doesn't work! Since 2012, Jake has taught over 80 sessions of rock band to both kids and adults.
