4 THEMED CONCERTS,
EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
Every student gets 4 opportunities to perform every year — each providing a project and a goal for students to always be striving for.
Concert opportunities range from solo performances such as playing your favorite movie theme or a classical piece that's caught your attention, to group performance opportunities such as playing with other students in a holiday music keyboard ensemble, or sitting in with a live rock band playing music by your favorite singer or band. Here are just a few examples of past themed concerts:
What families are saying.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jon and Piano Player's Workshop. Jon has been teaching two of my children for the past 10 years, and the impact he has had on their musical education and personal growth has been truly incredible. From the very beginning, Jon demonstrated not only an exceptional talent for teaching piano, but also a genuine passion for helping each student reach their full potential. He has an amazing ability to challenge students while keeping lessons engaging, encouraging, and enjoyable. His instruction goes far beyond simply learning notes and scales. He teaches musicianship, discipline, confidence, and a true appreciation for music. One of the greatest testaments to Jon's teaching is that one of my children continued their musical journey into college and is now pursuing a minor in music. The strong foundation Jon provided over the years played a significant role in making that possible. His commitment to excellence consistently prepares students for success at whatever level they choose to pursue music. What has always impressed me most is Jon's dedication to his students. During the pandemic, when so many activities came to a halt, Jon seamlessly transitioned to video lessons to ensure his students could continue progressing. He maintained the same high level of instruction, professionalism, and personal attention despite the challenges, and it made a tremendous difference for our family during that time. Over the last decade, we have watched our children grow not only as pianists but as individuals, and Jon has been an important part of that journey. His patience, expertise, encouragement, and unwavering commitment to his students are truly exceptional. If you are looking for a piano teacher who is knowledgeable, dedicated, inspiring, and genuinely invested in the success of his students, I wholeheartedly recommend Jon and Piano Player's Workshop. Our family is incredibly grateful for the years of outstanding instruction and support. Five stars simply don't seem like enough.
We have been with Jon at Piano Players Workshop for 5 years, and we could not be happier! Jon is incredibly knowledgeable and truly passionate about music. His love for what he does comes through in every lesson, and he has a wonderful way of making learning piano fun and engaging. One of my favorite things about Piano Players Workshop is the unique performance opportunities Jon provides for his students. He goes far beyond a traditional recital! The students have performed in a more formal recital at The Manship Theatre on a beautiful grand piano, participated in a movie-themed recital with the movie playing in the background, and enjoyed wonderful holiday recitals. But my absolute favorite is when Jon puts together an entire band with singers to accompany the students on stage. Seeing them perform with a full band is such an incredible and memorable experience! Jon is also incredibly easy to work with and very flexible when we have to miss a lesson, which is so appreciated with a busy family schedule. Another bonus is the waiting room with multiple pianos, which allows my other child to practice while their sibling is having a lesson. After five years, we can honestly say that Jon is worth every penny we have invested. His dedication, creativity, knowledge, and genuine love of music make Piano Players Workshop such a special place. We highly recommend Jon to anyone looking for a piano teacher who will not only teach their child to play, but also help them develop a true love and appreciation for music!
Dear Jon, Thank you for yet another fantastic concert! We know these events take a great deal of planning- it shows! Yet somehow, you always make the kids feel like the star of the show. You make each child feel valued, which gives them the confidence to let their talents shine. It is always such a joy to see your students faces beaming with satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment from performing the pieces they've worked so hard to learn... all your students- not just our own girls :). Thank you for sharing your gifts with these kids!
Dear Jon, Thank you for being such a patient & kind teacher to our son. He LOVES playing piano. I know you have something to do with that :). I appreciate all of the time, effort, & creativity you put into what you do!
Dear Jon, We so appreciate all of the work you put into lessons + recitals for the kids. Our daughter has had such wonderful experiences with performance and she truly loves playing piano. We're grateful you are her teacher.
Great Teacher for any age. I started lessons at 55/yo and still enjoy them 7 years later. Location in Southdowns is very convenient. Jon really tailors his lessons to the interest of his students.
Jon is the best! Very knowledgeable and patient with me. I am an adult and new to learning piano, and Jon knew exactly how to work with me. He is a seasoned veteran and has been playing piano and involved in the music industry most of his life. He is a great guy and won't steer you wrong!
