about me...

Welcome, I am a piano teacher and accompanist who works with students of all ages and abilities, including adults. I teach on weekends from my home in Dublin 16 where I have both a grand piano and an upright piano. 

To date, I have taught students from around the world in New York, London, and Dublin. My students have achieved the following:

  • 68 medals (1st, 2nd, 3rd) in international and national competitions
  • 32+ mentions (VHC, HC, C) in national competitions
  • 21+ Distinctions in ABRSM and RIAM grade exams (grades 1-8)
  • 1 DipLCM diploma

My diverse teaching experience sets me apart. I taught at the reputable Piano Academy of Ireland for 3 years and worked as a musical director at the acclaimed French Woods Festival of Performing Arts in New York for 3 months. Additionally, I have taught at Tempo School of Music, Everest School of Music, Pulber Academy of Music, and Knocklyon Music School. 

I have a background as a performer and performed in concerts around Ireland, Netherlands, USA, and Belgium, and achieved distinctions in all of my exams. I am also a prize winner at over 50 competitions nationwide including Feis Ceoil, EPTA piano festival, Newpark festival, Kilcoole festival, DIT, Wesley feis, and the Sutton Park music festival. Notable achievements include winning 1st prize in the Junior Concerto Competition at Feis Ceoil, being a finalist in the prestigious Anthony Glavin Awards competition, and being one of the youngest finalists ever in their Senior Sonata competition, the Nordell Cup.

As well as being an experienced teacher and solo performer, I am an award-winning accompanist. I have accompanied numerous instrumentalists, vocalists, and choirs in exam and competition settings.

What My Students Say

'Jason started teaching my 5 year old daughter, Emily, to play piano in September 2019. Within a few short months, she has made amazing progress and can now play grade 2 level pieces! He is a superb teacher who is particularly good at explaining things to young children in a very imaginative way and bringing out the best of their ability. I am so happy that we found Jason to guide Emily on her musical journey and couldn’t recommend him highly enough.'

Emily (5)
'Jason is an amazing teacher. My daughter used to be in a different school and she was in preparatory for two years and her progress was very slow. With Jason, she was able to accelerate hastily with very remarkable outcome. From preparatory she was able to accelerate to third grade in just over a year and she even joined and won in a competition with Jason's persuasion. Jason brings out the best in his students and help them develop their talents remarkably. He is also a very supportive teacher, he even accompanied our daughter on the day of her exam when she was nervous. Jason is just simply amazing!'

'Jason isn't just a very talented pianist, he's also an amazing teacher and great motivator. He encouraged our daughter to take part in her first piano competition, even though we weren't so confident ourselves. She won second place! Which she wouldn't have if it hadn't been for his experience and dedication (extra hours on early Saturday mornings and a lot of patience). We can't recommend him enough.'
