He conducted the Wyoming State FFA Chorus for three years, has worked with the UW Summer Music Camp choirs, and has studied advanced choral conducting techniques with Dr. Nicole Lamartine. Gantz is also an active arranger of choral music, and is looking forward to a Masters in Education with an emphasis in Kodaly. Jacob has many interests outside the choral realm as well.
