Jonathan loves sharing his ideas in workshop, writing, and conversation. Many of the topics he’s led focus on rethinking paradigms in the music classroom. This includes student creation over replication, educational equity, ‘ukulele in the music room, using literature that reflects the students, lessons that lean into embracing identity, tackling grief in a class, and more.
