Music Theory

Jonathan Weir graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Hartt School of Music with a degree in Piano Performance and Composition. Jonathan has been playing Classical Piano since a young age and has studied under Maggie Francis, piano faculty at the Hartt School. The discovery of Classical Piano also led him to the New England Conservatory Preparatory Program where he studied piano and composition, two years before pursuing his degree at Hartt. Jonathan believes that music is about other people; the opportunity to share it and witness the impact it has on others is of great importance to him. Even as a kid, Jonathan always found great pleasure in teaching others about things he was passionate about. Now, as an experienced instructor, he is eager to guide others in exploring the incredible world of music, piano playing, and composition.


Jonathan runs a media platform titled "This Is Classical" which is all about sharing the incredible world of Classical music. Especially during major world events, the need for art and mediums where humans can express their emotions is of vital importance. Classical music is for everyone and Jonathan is uniquely qualified to lead you towards refining your piano abilities, creating your own masterpieces, and looking in-depth into what makes music "TIC". "Practice makes proficiency” - this is true for music as well as life. Mistakes are inevitable but it is mistakes that allow us to grow and achieve greater things. Jonathan will work with you to refine the mistakes and achieve proficiency in your journey through music.

Classical music is for EVERYONE. This philosophy of mine has led me to design this course specifically to unveil the expansive world of Classical music, which is so often overlooked in this present age. This course is designed for EVERYONE, whether you like Classical Music, kinda like it, not sure if you like it, or DON’T like it.

We will look at different pieces of music spreading across a wide range of years and eras. I will personally be speaking on behalf of each piece and why it is so interesting and worth you time hearing. I will also discuss the riveting historical background of the music as well as the composers responsible for each piece. Especially in an age where we are focusing more on our mental health and finding peace and quietness in our lives I believe Classical music can access these deeper areas of our minds and thoughts and connects us to life and who we are inside.
