Introduction: I listen to the music that the students wants to play and show them dozens of alternative ways of transferring that love to the chosen instrument. You should know that I'm always in a wonderful mood when I teach (I mean wonderful) except when the student doesn't work at all. I actually have four careers in music: I teach, I write, I play, and I tune pianos. Gratitude oozes forth from me daily for this good fortune, and I love most everything I do, including planning, eating, sleeping, riding my bike, and the students I see are real treasures. They know it, their parents know it, I know it. We don't talk about this, but there are many ways of knowing, as well as many ways of learning, and especially there are as many ways of playing as there are people on earth and Mars.

Music Entertainment
Jon played piano for us at a cocktail party for our wedding, and it was magical. His passion for music is rivaled only by his skill for playing it. He was kind, gracious, well dressed and just wonderful. I do not have enough kind words to say. Please consider Jon for your event, you will not regret it.

Piano Tuning
Our piano was given to us by a friend and hadn't been tuned in years. We had no experience in piano tuning. Jon Novi was so kind to explain what he was doing step by step. I believe that he loves this work and he really care about the music. He even stuck around long enough for my daughter, a new pianist, to play a few songs and gave her some insightful words of encouragement. I will be calling Jon again.

Jon Novi is very professional. He teaches at the speed and level the stundents is best comfortable with. He is always willing to repeat a lesson if needed. I would highly recommend Jon Novi to anyone who wants to learn to play music.

Mr. Novi is not only a patient teacher, but his willingness to adjust his style of teaching to my needs, our constant pleasant interactions, scheduling flexibility, and his inspiring passion for music and teaching gave me everything I was looking for!

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Every student is different. Every one gets a different teaching method. I've had thousands of students. Neither I nor my students are typical.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a university degree that says I teach music, and another that says I'm a master of music, in performance. Before the eight years of college, I took eight years of piano lessons. Since college I have had 5-7 more private teachers, depending on how you count them. No one ever asks to see my parchments because I am an experienced teacher. This is immediately evident, and there is no substitute for experience.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
God and my parents showed me the beauty of music at an early age, and I never lost the sound.
