Introduction: I've been formally trained in classical, jazz, salsa, samba, rock, funk, soul, and more. I have a degree in jazz studies from Indiana University. I'm an active performer.
My teaching philosophy is that students should pursue the music that they enjoy. I use my students' favorite music as a jump-off point for learning music theory concepts. I also try to broaden my student's horizons to new genres and new professional possibilities.
I push my students hard, but I understand that music is a reflection and a celebration of life.
In many ways, I'm still a student myself. I'm always learning. Music is a journey and a lifelong pursuit. Music has taken me all over Europe, China, and the Caribbean.
I've met interesting people and had wild experiences. I love sharing these stories with my students. Even more, I love hearing my students' stories as they embark on their own musical journey.
I want my students to receive the same amount of joy from music that I have, whatever that means for them.

I took guitar lessons with Jon for about a year as a beginner. At my first lesson Jon asked me about what kind of music I liked and what I was hoping to gain from taking lessons. From that point on, classes were tailored to fit my interests which kept me excited to learn as much as possible. Jon's passion for music as well as his students is very obvious- I definitely recommend him!

I have been taking lessons with Jon over the past couple years. He is an exceptionally caring and superbly knowledgable teacher for both beginners and advanced students alike. He has taught me about guitar, upright bass, classical, jazz, pop, and rock bass playing and I I've never left a session without feeling like a better musician and learning more about theory and knowing exactly how to apply it to my instrument. I highly recommend him, definitely the best teacher I've ever had!
