Jonathan quickly got both of my sons engaged, enthusiastic and practising piano everyday without ever being asked! He seems to combine enthusiasm, general coolness, and discipline in ways that are very effective. Although the boys were at very different levels, and have very different personalities and learning styles, he seems to get the best from both of them.
The eldest loves being able to choose the music that they learn together and the youngest loves it when Jonathan hits him (with a cushion!) when he gets it wrong. He talks quietly to them without patronising them, he uses technology in ways they can respond to, and he inspires them to play well for him. I can’t recommend Jonathan highly enough – although the neighbours might feel differently about the piano being played from 7am onwards…
