James Teitelbaum’s Summary
I have been recording music since 1984.
I have been getting paid for it since 1989, and have been working as a part of the Chicago-area recording community since 1993.
In 1989, I diversified my skills by entering the live sound and touring industry.
In 1997, I began teaching classes in recording technology.
The recording of music is my passion.
The vital importance of educating our children and young adults is also something I feel very strongly about.
Every single day, I am thankful that I can make a living by either making records, or by showing other people how to make records.
