About the tutor
Hello! I'm Jon Taylor, a music tutor specializing in guitar and singing. With a diploma in music, I believe in making learning enjoyable and engaging for students of all levels. My teaching philosophy revolves around personalized attention and hands-on practice to help students unlock their musical potential. As a touring and studio guitarist for artists under Sony/Epic and Interscope Records, I’ve performed across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, captivating diverse audiences with soulful, blues-inspired music. My career includes television performances on Elle, Soul Train, and Top of the Pops, showcasing my ability to adapt to high-profile, fast-paced environments. Furthermore, my work in Soul: The Stax Musical and at Center Stage in Baltimore allowed me to honor musical icons Wilson Pickett and my father, Johnnie Taylor, while bringing their legacy to life. My teaching philosophy focuses on nurturing creativity and self-expression, combining technical skill-building with personalized instruction. This approach has inspired countless students to find joy in music while developing their unique voice. Let's make music together!

Teaching methodology
As a Guitar and Singing tutor, I specialize in teaching students of all levels. My teaching methodology is motivational, problem-solving, patient, supportive, and engaging. I focus on helping students build a solid foundation in theory and practice, develop technical skills, and encourage creativity through improvisation and composition exercises. I strive to nurture the creative expression needed for music in each of my students. With my guidance, you will learn to play and sing with confidence and passion. For guitar players, first, we’ll get to know the guitar—its parts, how to hold it, and even how to tune it like a pro. Then, we’ll dive into learning your very first chords and strumming techniques. By the end of the class, you’ll be playing real songs you can show off to your friends and family—or keep as your own secret jam session. The singing lessons are designed for singers to explore their voice, build confidence, and have fun while improving their singing skills. Each week, they'll learn essential vocal techniques like breathing exercises, pitch control, and singing with emotion and expression. We’ll work with popular songs and engaging activities, ensuring students grow as singers while enjoying every step of the journey. Let's embark on this musical journey together!
