| Description: | Welcome to my piano studio!
My name is Jonathan Metz, and I am a piano teacher, music composition teacher, and choir director, and I absolutely love my job as a teacher of music, recognizing that young, aspiring musicians growing up in households of faith look to their teachers as examples of how to be close followers of Jesus Christ. Even as we learn how to become better musicians, it is even more important to become better followers of Christ, knowing who we are in Christ. I seek to model Keith Getty’s charge to musicians: “Be the best musician you can be and make sure that your faith is growing faster than your music.”
I seek first to pave a strong foundation for each of my students in classical and traditional music repertoire through the Piano Adventures method book series, (I am also willing to work with transfer students who may be in another series). In addition, I think it's important that students are also able to play the things that they're most interested in, so I work hard to incorporate individual interests into the lesson track.
My students are strongly encouraged to participate in Firmly Planted’s studio recitals, which usually take place near the end of each semester.
I grew up in Vancouver in the home piano studio run by my mom, Judy Ebel. After lessons with her, I studied jazz piano with Portland jazzer, George Mitchell, and then went to study music education at Western Washington University, where I continued my piano studies with Milica Jelaca Jovanovic. Later, I began a Masters at Indiana University to study music composition.
