ANXIETY

Anxiety is something we all deal with on certain levels. Some students are very outgoing while others may be very shy and scared of taking lessons with someone they’ve never met. Jake at Gert Dog Studios appreciates that everyone is different. His calm and kind approach to music lessons is appreciated by all. We will work hard, but learn that we can also have a really fun time at the same time. He will not reprimand a student for mistakes, but rather encourage them to try again and keep practicing.

While Jake is not trained in treating patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder, he has worked in settings where there were students and patients with ASD. He welcomes any family who needs a calm and patient teacher to contact him to see if it would be a good fit.

Jake partners with Speaktacular Speech & Language, LLC to bring music into therapy for patients (both children and adults) who would benefit from this kind of activity in a Speech-Language Pathology setting. Gert Dog Studios highly recommends Speaktacular Speech & Language for their amazing work and therapy. They can be found at www.speaktacularslp.com.
