We spoke with 2025 Lessonface Double Bass Teacher of the Year, David Jerkovic, about his journey as a performer and educator.

He discusses the importance of creating a calm, intentional teaching environment, building trust between student and teacher, and approaching challenges as a natural part of growth.
