Introduction

Free trial lesson for new clients! Hello! My name is Jon, and I'd be delighted to work with you! I tailor a customized lesson program to meet the needs of each individual student. I have over 25 years of experience as a professional musician and teacher and am a licensed educator in Tennessee. I'm also very warm and personable in my approach. I make the music lesson experience about YOU, not me, and we'll definitely have a great time while we work together. I'm classically trained, but I'm also very proficient and well-versed in other styles such as rock/pop and jazz. For beginners, I keep things very simple and we go step by step at YOUR pace. For the experienced folks, I simply meet you where you're at, fill in any gaps in your training, and move forward from there. Please contact me for more detailed info. Thanks! I like being able to share what I know with others. I've had many people inspire and mentor me over the years, and now I like to pay that forward and do the same!

Hello my name is Josh and I was fortunate enough to be one of Jon's students for a few months. If you are thinking about hiring him as your teacher rest assured your money will be well spent. He is a fantastic teacher. His knowledge about music is superb and he was extremely friendly and fun to work with. I hope I get the chance to take lessons from him again in the future.

His profile says that the experience would be about the student , but it was actually ALL about him ...refused to even allow me to attend the recital, even though the contract he forced students to sign said all would be welcome to perform

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer quarterly discounts, so you get 12 lessons for the price of 11 if you sign up and pay for 3 months at a time. I do not charge extra for travel.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For music lessons, I schedule a "meet and greet" with the client to get to know the family and/or individual a little bit better and spend a few minutes with the student in a trial lesson. There is no obligation for this initial service. From that point it is up to the client to decide whether or not to proceed with a commitment to lessons. For performance services, I invite the client to come to my home and listen to me perform for them as an audition. If the person decides to hire me at that point, I have a work-for-hire agreement that we fill out together.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been playing music since 1976, and I've been teaching it since 1990. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education from the University of Illinois.
