About

Each student receives a customized lesson experience that will be engaging and progressive. We will work together to design your own personalized curriculum and set goals based on what you need and want to learn. We will also work to develop your critical and analytical skills to help you achieve your goals efficiently. In short, I teach you how to effectively practice so that you will see and hear the results!

Music, for me, has been a wonderful tool of expression, inspiration, contemplation and discipline. I love observing what this can do for my students.

I remain an active performer/composer/arranger in the music industry and enjoy sharing what I learn from those experiences with my students so that they will be aware of current expectations, technology and performance practices.

    Undivided attention to my son. Beyond the cello expertise, he was always the only person in the world when she was teaching him.

    Buffi Jacobs will meet you at your level and your commitment with minimal elitism given her accolades. She is blunt but dedicated to making your lessons and experience at her studio fulfilling and worth the time and her energetic disposition towards your improvement at any level is a marked difference from any run of the mill teacher teaching in a standardized fashion. Would recommend if you want to enjoy playing your instrument and everything that comes with it.

    Buffi is a fantastic cellist who excels in Classical, Jazz, and Pop/Rock styles. You won’t find a more versatile cello teacher! Ms. Jacobs has a great rapport with kids and adults alike and will help anyone who wants to progress on their instrument and as a consummate musician. She is also well versed in composition, arranging, and Finale. Highly recommend!

    Frequently asked questions

    I start by asking them questions about themselves such as what brought them to the cello or composition or how they feel they best learn.  Then, I have them play or compose for me a bit so that I can get a feel for where they are and what direction we need to take for progress.  

    I have a Bachelors(USC) and a Masters (UNT) in Cello Performance and a Film Scoring Certificate from Berklee Online.  I also have been a working professional in the music industry for over 20 years.
