LESSONS WITH JASON

Jason enjoys teaching students of all ages and skill levels. His love for teaching comes from the satisfaction he receives from guiding people toward their goals. Jason looks at each student's individual needs and interests, and combines them with the demands of the instrument to create an atmosphere that is as enriching as it is educational. Jason's students are encouraged to read as well as improvise in order to facilitate growth toward both cognitive and creative goals.
