Studying jazz improvisation with Dr. Jonathan has been one of my very best musical learning experiences. Jonathan is an exceptional educator who has accurately assessed my skill level, adeptly focused my learning, and gently guided my skill-building. He brings the music/performance to life through demonstration and is clearly an exceptional musician. As a result of studying with Jonathan, I’ve gained both confidence and competency in jazz improvisation that I’m able to apply to my own performances!

I have been playing trumpet for over 50 years with very little formal training. After playing under Dr. Jonathan in the Central Lakes Jazz Orchestra and Wind Symphony, Dr. Jonathan inspired me to be a better musician. I began private lessons six months ago and have found them valuable, rewarding, and enjoyable. Jonathan motivates students to be better musicians and better people.
