Jason’s philosophy and method around music education are not only about teaching “music” but also focused on creating a meaningful musical experience for all students. He believes that all learning should have the students' best interest in mind so that each lesson can both be meaningful and successful. Which has allowed him to build and communicate more clearly with both students and parents. Music Education for Jason was not only a career path but also a driving force in his life. He believes that high-quality music education should be accessible for all students and learners regardless of their background, race, religion, or social-economical class. Music to Jason is about building community and connecting people from all around the world through the shared experience of “music”, regardless of the type or genre of music, as all music is music.
