About Jonathon

I have taught for over 15 years.

I have created bands from ground zero to be elite musical bands that perform at maximum capacities on the collegiate level.
The bands I work with have won many awards and some of the students have gained entrance into some of the most prestigious universities within the United States.
I have performed with the Greater Dallas Youth Wind Symphony as a member (2002-2003) and the Dallas Wind Symphony.
The various venues I have performed at are: The Majestic Theater, Carnegie Hall, The Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Hall, Arts, Annette Strauss Park, Dallas Convention Center, Mountain View College.

I have played: Classical, Rock, Funk, Jazz, R&B and Latin Jazz

While I was at Arts I played primarily in the Wind Band, but I also performed with the R&B Ensemble and Latin Jazz Ensemble, where we performed at even more venues more frequently.

I am currently an Assistant Director at a middle school and also teach privately at various other schools and clinic their bands and small ensembles so they continue to maintain high capacity performance levels.
