Jon has great credentials as serious musician. He plays multiple instruments, regularly gigs and is genuinely passionate about a broad range of music. He can provide technical training but also allows for stylistic flexibility, depending on the mood of the music. Gone are the days when you get a crusty old school man making you spend 1 hour a day on scales! He lets me dictate the pace and taste in music, which is perfect for me. As a busy professional, he is relaxed about me having a flexible lesson schedule too. Great teacher.

Jon is a terrific teacher, knowledgeable about music and the saxophone and clearly loves what he does. I don't usually get to practice between lessons but still make great strides by virtue of the way Jon imparts technique.
It is a lot of fun and I look forward to every lesson. I am not a serious musician, I don't care about strict reading of the pieces and Jon does not insist I do things properly, as long as I am making progress to where I want to be. I appreciate that. I only want to play songs I know and like, and have them sound recognizable.
If I were serious and really desired to be able to play at a high level, Jon would be choice for teacher again. I highly recommend him.
Jon teaches in-home lessons, but also teaches from a studio.
