For the duration of Jason's career, he's always maintained at least a few guitar students at any given time. While certainly providing income, Jason's approach to teaching is equally driven by being a lifelong student of the guitar. According to Jason, "Nothing teaches one more about the instrument and challenges us more than teaching another human. Every student I've ever had, regardless of skill level, has taught me something new or caused me to think about something in a different manner. This process is what keeps me engaged with the instrument and that lifelong process of discovery."
