Jon Rosemann

About

Started playing piano at age 9. My Teacher Judy Paschal, Main Pianist at North Point Baptist Church in Hurst Texas has considered me one of her best students in the 40 years of teaching she has ever had. Advanced 4 lesson levels in two years and progressed into advance piano by age 12. Performed two recitals per year under this teacher until 18 with an extra 1 hour Solo Senior Recital as my last recital under her tutelage.
Under the mentoring of Alphie Guess (Juilliard Masters Graduate in Singing and Jazz) attended 3 week piano workshops at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts(NCSARTS) 3 three different years with a additional chamber music program during the third year. During these sessions I had exclusive lessons by Julliard’s Master of Piano Performance Clifton Matthews, and Julliard’s Doctor of Music Bruce Moss.
The Summer of 2010 I was invited to play a piano/violin duo with Dallas Symphony Orchestras own Senior Principal Associate Concertmaster, and Principal Violinist Gary Levinson in a private charity concert after he heard my playing over a cell phone. I performed Brahms Violin Sonata No. 1 in G Major, Vivace Ma Non Troop. That summer I was also personally invited by Clifton Matthews (NCSARTS) to the Tibor Varga Music Festival in Sion, Switzerland.
While being a Boy Scout I had to complete an Eagle Scout Project in order to obtain my Eagle Scout Rank. My project "The Classics" was intended to benefit the senior residents of Franklin Park Retirement Center.
I gathered a group of volunteer musicians to join me in the presentation of classical music at different skill levels. During the presentation we explained and educated by performing the various pieces of music it requires to obtain each level. As a part of the performance, we provided a performance program with information about the musicians, the pieces played, and we also provided a copy of the performance on a DVD. The goal was to leave the audience with an appreciation of the time, effort, and dedication it takes to accomplish each performance level. The musicians ranged from beginner to advanced and from amateur to a professional performance level.

Influences

Though I started at 9 years old, I did not get fully into it until I was 14. My first six years of practicing to become the pianist I am today, I had two big influences. One being my brother, and the other being my piano teacher. Being a young competitive child I was given the challenge to pass my older brother who had started 3 years prior to myself. Once I had finally surpassed him I loved piano. I have multiple people who influenced me. Alphie Guess (Jazz Singer.Juilliard), Clifton Mathews (Piano.Juilliard), Bruce Moss (Piano.Juilliard), Gary Levinson (Dallas Symphony Orchestra), and so many other coaches its hard to name them all. But i would have to say my main influence was F. Liszt.

What to Expect

Typical Gig Duration: 90 - 120 minutes

I have been told that during my performances my phrasing literally rolls off the piano, it can over power, but it can also be deprived of existence. People describe my playing as they would imagine a mixture of Frederic Chopin and Franz Liszt, two polar opposites brought into a mix of freedom and rage. While I play I do not imagine the music as it is, I imagine it as it should sound. We are all entitled to our own opinion, and my opinion in my playing is what counts for the "miraculous" sound.

Stage/Setup Requirements:
Piano (Preferred acoustic)

Additional Notes:
I do all of my gigs with music, if you would like it with none I will take special requests.

Set/Song/Sequence List:
I'm going to assume this is where i place my repertoire.
