Jonah is so engaging and wonderfully patient with my son! He has not only become more passionate about playing saxophone but also has begun to listen to jazz and other music with a deeper curiosity, enthusiasm and understanding.

Natalie Walker

Jonah is truly a great teacher. He wants you to enjoy playing music, and he caters to the path you want to go down as a musician. He is not judgmental or critical at all and has an informative and helpful teaching style.

Julia Kunin

Jonah is an excellent teacher who understands how to make each lesson fun and different. He knows how to challenge me without discouraging me, and I always end up enjoying what we do.

Sylvie Dorsch

Jonah is an incredibly gifted musician and teacher, and his distinctive talent may lie in his ability to figure out how to tailor his instruction to a particular student. He taught each of my two daughters differently because he was able to discern who they are as people and how that informed who they are as musicians. I think both of my children would say that, in the nearly ten years they’ve been learning with Jonah, he’s become one of the most influential people in their lives. Not only because he’s enabled them to grow as musicians, but because he’s taught them how to press on, how to commit, how to make connections, how to challenge themselves. These are music lessons and life lessons.
