About the lesson
For all beginners, I start off with basics. I like to use the Rubank Beginner (or intermediate) book along with weekly scales. A well rounded musical foundation is important, so I make sure to balance classical training with ear training assignments that get the student to listen critically to music they're passionate about. I believe that students need to own their music education, so over time, I gradually start to incorporate their interests into weekly assignments. This looks like figuring out a song they like on their instrument. I have found this technique can really ignite a healthy passion for music.

All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by students with Jon.
Perfect! Jon is a great online clarinet teacher. Timely, personable, and knowledgeable. He communicates very clearly about scheduling, practice plan, etc. He also accommodates the interests of the students. He has really helped my son improve his clarinet playing a lot, and my son enjoys working with him. We are very pleased!
