Jared Jones

Who am I?

Jared Jones is a musician and private music instructor in the Hamilton area, teaching and playing piano, guitar, and drums. Jared completed his undergraduate studies at McMaster University in 2021 with an Honours Bachelor of Music, studying classical piano under the tutelage of Dr. Alexei Gulenco. He also completed the level 10 Piano RCM Certificate program with First Class Honours in August 2023. 

With over eight years of teaching experience with students of all ages, Jared loves helping students discover a passion for music. Jared believes that developing musical skills contributes to a student’s confidence, expression, creativity, problem solving, and independence. For students who are willing and ready, Jared encourages regular performance as a way to further improve skills as well as a way to share and enrich the local community. With a background in both Western Classical and contemporary music, Jared is glad to guide students through a range of genres such as Western Classical, Pop, Rock, Country, R&B, and more! Jared’s students have completed successful exams with first class honours, as well as competing and placing at local music festivals and competitions. Jared is currently welcoming new willing and excited students ages 5 and up for piano and 7 and up for guitar and drums. 

As an active musician, Jared has been performing for 15 years and absolutely loves sharing his music with others in a range of genres. He is currently touring with the Martin Brothers Collective as a lead guitarist and keyboardist (piano, organ, pad, auxiliary sounds). He is also a founding member and co-songwriter of his four-piece rock band, Rymal. Jared also enjoys accompanying instrumental students (violin, flute, etc) for exams and performances from time-to-time.
