Learn From the Comfort of Your Own Home
Why learn from home? Sometimes scheduling is difficult. Between work, school, and life inbetween, it can put you in a pinch for time and can cause difficulties in trying to juggle other activities. Battling bad weather and traffic will be a thing of the past, with the comforts of home being suitable to those who can find a more formal setting intimidating. Most importantly, a suitable teacher makes all the difference and finding one in close proximity can prove to be even more challenging
Jonathan offers music lessons in saxophone, clarinet, flute, and music theory online through zoom so you can learn at home.
30 and 60 minute lessons available.

Lessons
Jonathan, a multi instrumentalist, teaches the Saxophone, Clarinet, Flute and various genres and styles including but not limited to Jazz, Improvisation, Classical, Funk, Blues, and Popular music. Jonathan believes strongly in focussing on fundamentals and developing a key understanding of the music in practice as well and theory in lessons.
Music Theory & History
Jonathan provides tutoring in music history and theory. Whether it be preparing students for school tests, RCM exams, or University preparation. While mentoring students in this medium, Jonathan also makes a point of going beyond simple fact to provide historical context, along with the importance and relation to important events, of each time period.
Listening
One of the most invaluable things a student can do is listen to their instrument in the hands of a professional. Most students go through their entire musical career without ever really listening to their instrument or seeing what it is fully capable of.
Now one issue that students face is the sheer amount of music out there. Where do you begin? Who do you listen to? What videos should you check out? How do you discern the professional from the amateur?
This is why on top of weekly instructional lessons on your instrument, I assign a video or an album for students to check out each week. Each one of these videos/albums will put on display a different musician, whether its brand new, or old, it will show you what noises and colours are capable of being created, as well as some of the fun and humour that can come with playing a musical instrument.
