Personal Statement
Music is truly a therapeutic force in people’s lives. As a teacher and a musician, I feel privileged for every opportunity I have to bring this force to peoples life.
During the years, my experience, wide knowledge and good listening and communicating skills, made me develop a clear and organized teaching method, that combines fun and creative learning, with the basic fundamental skills that every music student needs to learn.
I am looking forward to hearing from you!
Jonathan.
