A multi-instrumentalist and songwriter with roots in the New Jersey/New York DIY music scenes, Jon joined Plugged In after moving to Massachusetts four years ago. Jon employs a holistic pedagogical approach that incorporates relevant music theory, effective practice and self-motivation techniques, and creative/songwriting exercises into a highly personalized curriculum, which recognizes, encourages, and responds to each student’s unique capacity for growth (as both a musician and a young person) while promoting an atmosphere of fun and safe creative expression.
