Thanks for considering me as your new teacher! My name is Jon B., and I am a certified music teacher with 10 years of educational experience in public, private and tutoring capacities. My degree in music education was obtained in 2017 through Immaculata University, where I concentrated in choral and orchestral studies while playing DIII Men's lacrosse and eventually earned the university's Medal of Music for highest academic achievement.

The first half of my teaching career consisted of elementary and middle school general music and ensemble settings, along with lacrosse coaching, before I transitioned to private teaching in more performance-based, age-varied and concentrated contexts. Throughout my time as an educator, I have maintained a longstanding performing career as a solo tenor and principal 2nd violinist, along with other instrumental performance roles. Pedagogically, my method is an eclectic, immersive blend of composition opportunities, audiation methods, and performance techniques based primarily on the methods of Suzuki, Gordon and Kodaly. I bring a passionate, invested energy to my teaching, ensuring that my students' experiences are inspiring and all-encompassing regarding the elements of music.

I hope to contribute to your musical journey in the near future, and trust that my skills and wisdom will be valuable assets to your experience. Thank you again for your consideration, and I hope to work with you!

Approved Subjects

General Music

General Music

In over 8 years of certified music teaching experience, the majority of my career was devoted to general music curriculums in elementary and middle school environments. My general music pedagogy consists of an eclectic blend of vocal/instrumental performance, a systematic study of each 'element' of music, and the integration of composition and improvisation to create an all-encompassing experience for the student.
Guitar

I am formally trained in music education with guitar as an instrument of concentrated study. I am a certified music teacher with 9+ years of experience, including teaching group and individual guitar lessons in public and private settings, with both child and adult students. I have also performed as an ensemble guitarist with the Immaculata chamber ensemble.

I have also performed as a solo and accompanying pianist in formal performance settings.
Songwriting

Songwriting

I am formally trained in music education with songwriting/composition as a primary subject of my instructional career. I have accrued 10 years of experience teaching structures and methods of songwriting in popular and classical contexts to both adult and younger students. Examples include harmonic progression projects, form study, melodic development and lyrical production as it relates to rhythmic dictation. My method of composition is a creative, constrained approach to the songwriting process in order to maximize growth and student individuality.

In over 8 years of experience as a music teacher, I instructed as a certified vocal teacher for primary school choirs, and later as a private music educator. My vocal career also includes tenor soloist featurings with ensembles throughout Central Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia region. I encourage and model a deep understanding of vocal physiology, music theory, aural skills and expressive elements.

Great violin teacher

Beyond his impressive background, he is incredibly pleasant, professional, and has established a wonderful rapport with my children. He creates a highly supportive environment that makes the kids feel comfortable and engaged. Highly recommend!
