Jonny has a three pronged approach to teaching. He recognizes the need for his students to not only read music and be “literate musicians”, but both hear and feel music as well. Therefore, he employs a mix of traditional methods that teach traditional music both Jazz & Classical, as well as music theory – the “nuts and bolts” of music, along with a strong ear training program that enables his students to listen to music and play what they hear while being able to understand what it is that they are hearing and playing.

Traditional Piano Music, Music Theory (which relates to any instrument) and Ear Training (which relates to ALL music & sound). The foundation of any great musician!
