Welcome to Single Track Studio
Hello, Jon Harnum here. Welcome to the web site for my teaching studio, where you can learn more about me and what I offer. Thanks for swinging by my little piece of the Internet.
I'm a long-time teacher, with a PhD in music education (Northwestern) and have written several books. You can catch me playing around Bend in a few places. I often play with the Gypsy jazz quartet, Swing 44 (guitar and trumpet), and with Shireen Amini's Latin dance band ¡Chiringa! (trumpet and keyboard), and now and then with Woodsmen, and The Cutmen, and other groups in town. Open mics are also a fun hang and I try to get to one every couple weeks. I'm always up for a jam and for meeting other musicians. Hit me up! If you have questions, please e-mail me! |
Playing with Chiringa (piano & trumpet), opening for Ozomatli at Munch and Music in Drake Park. What a fun show!
Playing with Hot Club of Bend (guitar & trumpet) at Summerfest on the Jazz Stage.

Lessons
I draw on over 35 years of experience playing music and over 25 years of teaching, including a master's and Ph. D. in music education. I've taught privately, taught band at all levels, and have taught music teachers at the university level. With that expertise, I craft a custom curriculum for each student's specific needs, goals, and ability. I take music and the teacher-student relationship seriously, but one of my main goals is to have fun while learning. You will not find a private teacher with more expertise and experience. Feedback is frequent, friendly, and is often recorded with text, audio and/or video. This will help you (and me) keep track of your progress. Together, we'll continue to tweak and modify our approach so you get exactly what you need to make steady progress and have a good time. Go to the Lessons Page to learn more about my approach, what I teach, and rates. I'm also an author of music-related books. Students receive copies of my books for free when they sign up for monthly lessons. |
