Private Lessons & Coaches in Piedmont, CA

Since the age of 5, I have explored my fascination with music. Starting with Suzuki piano, I gave a recital in high school and went to Oberlin Conservatory. Continuing on to Peabody and Eastman, I completed my music education and moved on to IT while exploring additional passions in music on the side. I'm now back to music full time, with an emphasis on teaching conservatory-level classical piano and beginning/intermediate violin and latin percussion. I teach at your home or at mine in Danville.

"We highly recommend Jonathan as a music teacher! Our 9-year-old son Dylan is energetic and easily distracted, but Jonathan has endless patience and keeps him fully engaged throughout every lesson. He’s an amazing musician himself, makes learning fun, and chooses perfect pieces for Dylan’s level. Jonathan is excellent with lively, active 9-year-olds!
