About Ingvar Jacobson

Education: UMBC (Music/Music Technology)

Performance Experience: Ever since receiving a piano on his first birthday, Ingvar has been performing. From countless private teaching recitals to school performances in the orchestra, jazz band, and marching band to performing piano at the American Fine Arts Festival at Carnegie Hall, Ingvar brings almost two decades worth of performance experience.

Teaching Experience: Ingvar got his start in teaching at a young age tutoring neighborhood kids starting their journey in music. He later went on to be a counselor for several years at the North Bay AACPS Summer Music Camp where he led sectionals and assisted during rehearsals. He has been teaching at the Bowie store since March 2017.

Teaching Philosophy: His teaching philosophy is very theory and fundamental based. Starting out with how to sit properly at the piano, how to hold the violin correctly and personally building a curriculum around the student so they can thrive in a musical world and speak its language fluently.
