Past Leaders & Founders
Our past leaders and founders, who helped Melody Makers get to where it is today.
Our Founders
Jake Weiss
Jake was a senior at Saguaro High School, Drum Major of the Saguaro Marching Band, and a Team Lead for Sabercat Robotics (FRC 4146) when Melody Makers was founded by him and Owen. Jazz and classical may seem as opposite as AI and music, but Jake searches for unique ways to combine these fields. His favorite song is "Great Gig in the Sky" and favorite instrument is the jaw harp!

Owen Barker
Owen was a senior at Saguaro High School when Melody Makers was founded by him and Jake. He has played the piano for 12+ years, and also plays the synthesizer and the guitar. He was a member of the design team at Sabercat Robotics. His favorite band is Radiohead and favorite song is "Everything in its Right Place."
