Jake was finishing his thesis on Technology for Music Education at NYU when COVID hit. Since March, he has helped teachers take deep breaths and find creative low-cost solutions in their remote and blended arts classrooms. With some modern audio and video technology and some influence from pop culture, we can create art in simple yet revolutionary ways with our students.
