About Jonathan
I am an energetic pianist who has taught students of all ages and abilities. I strive to create a comfortable atmosphere and relationship with the pupil by balancing all facets of music. I seek to hone the skills of the student at all angles, technical and pedagogical, resulting in a greater overall experience of each piece. I have the unique role that provides an opportunity to present insight and tutelage passed down from previous teachers while still allowing the student to express their own musical thoughts and ideas. I have a doctorate in piano performance and a secondary emphasis in theory; which provides me with a thorough overall knowledge of all genres of music. I always enjoy watching each student grow with each lesson. I enjoy assigning a variety of repertoire conducive to each degree of difficulty, a lyrical selection balanced with an exercise, "etude-like" piece that emphasizes a mastery of finger dexterity. I enjoy the satisfaction of assisting students with developing their communication and emotional skills by giving them chances to perform in recital settings if the opportunity is presented.

A teacher should convey in a discernable manner proper posture, weight distribution throughout the body, and finger technique that is crucial to the development of the pupil. This requires an array of contrasting repertoire conducive to each degree of difficulty; from a lyrical and melodious selection to an exercise, ‘etude-like’ piece that emphasizes a mastery of finger dexterity contingent on the ability of the student.
The successful relationship between a student and teacher should possess a solid foundation that provides no inhibition with communication and emotion. The musical experience should provide development and sharpening of musicianship for both the student and the teacher while opening both minds for seeking new and convincing vehicles to approach each piece of music.
I've worked with all ages and abilities, from age 6 to the elderly. I have worked with a woman recovering from a stroke, children with autism, and other students with behavorial and physical disabilities.
I would tell them to find a teacher that understands what they want to achieve with their lessons; whether it be just a leisure activity, if Theory would be involved, or if they are a more serious musician looking to perform on a regular basis. It is important for the teacher to plan according to the student's expectations.
A recent event I'm fond of is watching my MacPhail studio perform a Spring Semester recital via Zoom.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Will I be able to devote enough time during the week to add piano lessons to my schedule?
What are my goals with these lessons? A leisurely hobby, or a more serious approach?
