BEHIND THE SAXOPHONE
Jacob Schwartzberg
Musician
Jacob Schwartzberg is a saxophonist, composer, and educator based in Kansas City, Missouri. Originally from Denver, Colorado, Jacob’s love of music began early and led him to attend Denver School of the Arts. There, he started on the clarinet before deciding to pick up the saxophone, which he hasn’t put down since.
In 2021, Jacob graduated from the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory with a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies. While at school under saxophonists Adam Larson and Bobby Watson, Jacob had the opportunity to perform at venues such as the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, The Black Dolphin, The Blue Room and other clubs around Kansas City.
He currently plays with “Arnold Young and the RoughTet,” and his playing, composing, and arranging are featured on a 2018 self-released album with his band The Musetet. His music can also be found in several collaborative works with dancers and choreographers.
“Jacob is an impressive saxophonist/composer of the newest generation of jazz musicians. He plays with great heart and a beautiful sound… I’m always in anticipation of what thought-provoking ideas his musical mind will forge next. I look forward with delight to continue to experience Jacob’s musical journey.”

Learn with Jacob
Grow as a musician.
During my own education, I valued not only the technical, but also the cultural and historical aspects of music. That’s why my students can expect a well-rounded education that goes deeper than just notes on a page. No matter the style of music, we will learn the repertoire as well as its context and purpose. Through the lens of whatever music you want to study, we will work together to master the fundamentals, hone your technique, and further your understanding in the world of music.
