    About Jonathan F.

    (60)
    Hello! My name is Jonathan and I am an R&B guitarist. I have been teaching with TakeLessons since 2015, and I have over 22 years of experience as a musician. In addition to obtaining formal education from Berklee College of Music, I went on to study with renowned industry icons, including Bobby Griffin, Kerry Marshall Jr., Xeryus Gittens, Joe Stump, and Todd Pritchard, to name a few! My dedication to the guitar led me to Neighborhood Studios of Fairfield County, a music and arts school where I teach guitar to children and serve as the Music School Director. Additionally, I have nearly a decade of experience in the Direct Care field, and my background has equipped me with the patience and understanding to effectively teach students with special needs. If you're looking to dive into the world of guitar playing, whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, I'm here to help. Join me in exploring the artistry and joy of the guitar, and let's make music together!

    Jonathan is the best teacher/instructor out there. My beginner child learned and progressed so fast because of him. I would recommend him for any beginner. Hopefully he'll start taking student again soon!

    Jonathan is just a great dude. He was put in a tough spot with me because I'm not quite a beginner, so any instructor who gets a student like that has to learn where their student is in their learning journey. Jonathan was able to recognize where I was pretty quickly and I've already improved quite a bit because of him. He's kind. Patient. He's a good dude. He's not afraid to ask me to do something I feel like I can't do because he can see I can. He knows we all start somewhere and we're not gonna be guitar heros out of the gate. Just a good dude. Super chill and knowledgeable. I made a great choice in picking him to be my instructor. You should do the same.
