Jon’s teaching philosophy.
I believe that anyone can learn anything! There is no such thing as a tone deaf person, someone who can’t sing or doesn’t have any musical ability. If you want to learn something then you can. If you are willing to put in a little bit of practice each day then I can help you to achieve your musical goals.
