Education
Jon’s background in many different styles has led him to a holistic approach to music education, where no genre is better or worse than another. He coaches all types of groups and solo pieces, be it a Brahms choral work, a vocal jazz standard, an aria, or a top 40 pop hit. In his solo teaching, he helps his singers understand how to sing healthily in all styles. When it comes to an ensemble masterclass, he takes a combined approach of performance and connection to the lyric with the mastery of musical details to achieve the best product possible. He also offers workshops in improvisation, stage presence, directing, arranging, and more.
Arranging
Jon arranges songs in all styles with any combination of voicing/instrumentation. Most notably, his arrangements were featured on Sky 1’s TV show, “Sing: Ultimate A Cappella.” He is a Contemporary A cappella Recording Award-winning arranger and his arrangements are sung by high school, collegiate, and professional groups around the world.
