About Lars
Hi! I’m Lars, a professional saxophonist, composer, and educator with over 25 years of experience in performance and teaching. I’m a graduate of Berklee College of Music (Summa Cum Laude), where I had the honor of studying with saxophone legends Joseph Viola, George Garzone, and Bill Pierce. I was also awarded the Joseph Viola Scholarship for Excellence in Classical Woodwind Performance. As a musician, I’ve had the privilege of performing with incredible artists like Norah Jones, J.C. Hopkins, George Garzone, and Amanda Monaco, as well as composing music for off-Broadway productions stars including Academy Award winner Melissa Leo, Anthony Rapp (Rent), Wilson Cruz (Rent), Tony nominee Mary Testa (Wicked, Guys & Dolls), Kathleen Chalfant, Kate Mulgrew (Star Trek: Voyager, Orange is the New Black), Adrienne Moore (Orange is the New Black), and more. I also lead my own jazz group, the Lars Jacobsen Trio. With over 25 years of teaching experience, including 10 years at the Trevor Day School in Manhattan, I’m passionate about helping students of all levels develop their skills, whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your technique and artistry. My teaching style is supportive, personalized, and designed to help you reach your musical goals. I look forward to working with you—let’s make music together!

As a private music teacher, I draw on my decades of experience to quickly assess each student’s strengths and pinpoint areas for improvement. My approach is rooted in building a strong foundation—focusing on fundamentals that will enhance their skills in all aspects of playing. I provide a variety of targeted exercises designed to address these fundamentals in an engaging and effective way. Additionally, I use my extensive knowledge of repertoire to select fun and challenging pieces in a range of styles, always tailored to the student’s interests and goals. This ensures that learning remains both rewarding and motivating, allowing students to progress quickly while developing a deep and lasting love for music. All levels and all ages are welcome!
