FAQ's
Q: Do you offer recitals?
A: Recitals are offered at the end of each Fall & Spring semester. Students are encouraged to perform at each recital. In lieu of a "Recital Fee", the semester recital will take the place of the normal weekly lesson.
Q: At what age can students start lessons?
A: Starting age of the student depends on the instrument. For Piano and Voice, students should at the very least be able to read their A,B,C's left to right and maintain attention for the full 30 minutes. For Band Instruments, students should be at least 11 years old, or entering the 5th grade. Songwriting/composition students should be able to play at least one other instrument before beginning instruction.
Q: Do you offer hour-long lessons?
A: It's my philosophy that hour long lessons are most beneficial for students preparing for a college audition, All-District/State audition, or professionals who are on a truncated timeline of preparation. If you wish to schedule a 60-minute lesson, please reach out to Jonathan to discuss details.
Q: What books are required for lessons?
Method books are chosen specifically based on best suited resources for each student. Below are a few examples of what you can expect to purchase for your lesson. Please do not purchase books before first consulting with Jonathan.
All Piano students will need:
-
The Complete Book of Scales, Chords, Arpeggios, & Cadences (Palmer, Mantus)
-
The Alfred Piano Method* (exact book to be determined based on age of student)
-
Corresponding Theory Book
*If a student has began study of music utilizing a different method text, Jonathan can teach from a different method as to not disrupt any progress already started.

Minor Student Policy
Students age 17 and under must be accompanied by a legal guardian in the home during the lesson time. Student safety is my number one priority.
