I'm Jon — a music teacher and composer with 20+ years of experience and a master's in music education. I teach in students' homes across the SF Peninsula and the Sacramento area, and online everywhere else. Your first online private lesson is free.
No commitment. 25 minutes, online — just you, me, and your instrument.
No forms, no phone tag, no guessing whether I'll write back. Pick a time, and I'll be there.

We'll talk about your goals, your experience, and the music you love — and play a little.
If we're a fit, we'll set up your regular lesson time — online, in your home, or in a group class.
Every lesson is built around the student in front of me — kids, teens, and adults, from first notes to advanced repertoire.
One-on-one piano, guitar, or ukulele lessons over video, from wherever you are. Booking and payment happen right on this site.

Jon doesn't just teach piano, he helps to cultivate a love of learning and an appreciation for music... He is a treasure to our family and we recommend him highly.— Dee, San Francisco Bay Area
