Switched to classical studies after how sour my experience w/ Nathan was. Initially seemed tough but fair, but realized he's just a milder version of Fletcher from Whiplash minus the part where the students actually get better after being yelled at. He created a hostile environment that produced the most deflated & discouraged group I've ever seen.

Tough but fair. Exceptional feedback for someone who respects the course.

tough and impatient

Not an encouraging teacher.

I loved his class. He's a little tough, but he pushes you to new heights and suddenly you realize what all his fuss was about!

I agree with the first comments...I'd add that even if you are serious about jazz, perhaps even already accomplished, he'll make your life miserable by pushing you to get even better. But that's what most of us need!

Jon is hardcore about his jazz. If you don't think you are totally into Jazz don't take his class, he will make your life misreable.
