Jonathan Strand Music Lessons
About
My service stands out because I am able to teach multiple instruments, and have experience teaching and playing different styles of music. I have a Bachelors degree in Piano Performance, I am working on my Masters in Piano Pedagogy, and I have been featured on an album on Spotify as a guitarist.
The thing that brings me the greatest joy is seeing my students not only grow as musicians, but also as people! It's my belief that teaching is a collaborative activity, and building friendships as a result of that is very rewarding.
