About
I cater to the individual. I like to think of myself as a piano tutor instead of teacher, where I do teach, but I also can act as a guide. I use each lesson as a stepping stone for the next lesson. I feel that if the student has not improved, I have not done my job correctly. I do stress, however, that music is a commitment, and like all true commitments, it takes effort. I don't follow a specific pedagogy across the board, because I recognize that different students have different needs.
I love sharing what I know and watching my students maturing as pianists.

He is really patient and explaining everything quite explicitly. The materials used are very beneficial l as it contains really good musictheories and helps strengthen fingers , but the songs in the materials are not so interesting.

Jonathan has been excellent in creating interest for piano for my daughter and she is motivated to learn and improve. It is surprising to see her learn an entirely new language with music and Jonathan has done excellently working at oace that works for her.

My son has been taking Piano lessons from Jonathan. We are very happy with the progress of the lessons. Jonathan not only teaches how to play the piano, but gives valuable tips and information with each lesson. He is punctual, professional and patient. I would highly recommend Jonathan as a piano teacher.

Jonathan is an amazing piano teacher for all levels. Our daughter has been learning for almost a year now and we have seen her grow so much. Apart from teaching how to play piano, Jonathan also talks about musictheory and the pieces from great pianists which helps motivate her to come out of her comfort zone.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
$50.00 per hour, $40 for 45 mins, $30.00 for a half hour. All students get free materials for their first lesson. Contact me for any additional questions or arrangements.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After scheduling an appointment, the first lesson may be a standard introductory lesson. if the student had prior experience, I would try to ascertain where the student is at knowledge and skill-wise. I am also interested in learning what the student wishes to learn specifically, as this may, affect what is taught.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have played since I was young and have had six personal teachers myself. I have taken courses in music but my passion for the instrument arose after multiple epiphanies as I matured. Music is a language, and the best way to learn a language is to immerse yourself in it, but... pianists can never say that they have finished learning the instrument for there is always a technique to improve, a new piece to practice etc.
