About Jon

I hold a BA (University of Oregon), MA, and PhD (Northwestern University) in music education. I've got 35 years of experience playing and over 25 years of experience teaching with students from age 4 to 78, grade school to college, and lots of adult beginners.

I play trumpet, guitar, and percussion (djembe, conga), as well as didgeridoo, flute and sax, and I love to mess around with more obscure instruments, effects pedals, and other electronics.

If you'd like to hear me play (usually trumpet and/or guitar), I often play with The Hot Club of Bend, The Nomads, and Chiringa, as well as my own group.

Making music is something that defies easy description, but one thing I know, making music is SUPER fun. To me, helping others see, hear, and experience that fun is priceless. Lighting another's candle with one's own only makes for more light. Everybody wins!

I did my graduate work (BA, PhD) at Northwestern University, one of the premiere music schools anywhere. My research focus was on practice, and the learning sciences, among others.

I've been playing and performing music for over 35 years, and I love all parts of it: practicing, playing, and teaching.

About the lesson

A student's goals are the most important thing. In addition to assessing a student's strengths and weaknesses, we talk about goals and together we craft a plan for reaching short-term and long-term goals.

I've worked with beginners of around 6 to comeback and begging players over 75, and everything in between, including college students. I've never met a student of any level that I can't help achieve more skill and better musicianship.

Try out a few lessons.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What are your goals, both short-term, and long-term? What is your greatest strength? Your greatest weakness? Your greatest fear?
