Jake Douglas

Jake Douglas (Seattle, USA) is a teacher and educator from Seattle, Washington. He possesses a unique background having studied music, psychology, neuroscience, and yoga. This synergistic education has provided a well-rounded and experiential understanding of how humans acquire and integrate knowledge. In terms of Jake’s personal musical journey, he started playing flute at age 4, moved to piano, then to alto saxophone before finding his passion in drums and percussion. Playing music begets a transcendent presence that can only be experienced through a deep mind, body, and spirit connection – which makes learning an instrument an ideal catalyst for growth. With Practicing Musician, Jake is creating a truly equitable access to world-class music education so every child has the opportunity to participate in a music program that speaks to their specific expressive needs and expands their aesthetic sensibilities.
