JAKOB SCHACHAMAYR

I consider myself lucky to have found access to music as a child. At the age of five, it was a glockenspiel that captivated me. A year later, my passion for playing the piano aroused and I started taking piano lessons at the age of six.

Trained Pianist

I completed my studies – piano performance and instrumental and vocal pedagogy – both in Vienna at the Private University of Music and Art and at the University of Music and Performing Arts.
