About

Hi, I'm Jon. I'm a composer and keyboardist from Colorado. I've been playing piano for about 22 years and composing music for about 11 years. I have a B.A. in Music Composition from Adams State University and a M.M. in Film Scoring from Berklee College of Music.

I love seeing students grow from wherever they're at in music, whether that be feeling comfortable enough to perform in front of an audience, writing their own pieces and presenting them, or just being confident in their understanding of the fundamentals of how music works.

Teaching Style

I teach based on the student's experience level and specific needs and have some recommended texts listed.
