Overview

Hello, I'm Jonathan Dills. I've been playing cello for around 14 years now. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to study with many phenomenal cellists and musicians. My main instructors on cello have been Mr. Jonathan May, Mr. Jonathan Stillwell, Mr. David Bejella, and most recently, Dr. Jamie Clark and Mr. David Cole.
I graduated from Stetson University in spring 2022 with a bachelor's degree in music performance. In the spring of 2024, I graduated from Lynn Conservatory with a master's in music performance.
Since 2015, I've been able to play for various events and private lessons, including weddings, holidays, nursing and retirement homes, funerals, and more.

Amazing

Jonathan was absolutely amazing and made our wedding so special! Everyone loved hearing him play and thought he was incredible. If we ever have a need for a cellist for another event, he will be the first person we contact.

Beautiful music for our daughter’s wedding

Jonathan is a very talented cellist. He played beautiful classical pieces and hymns for our daughter’s wedding ceremony prelude. It was wonderful!

Great Entertainer

I am the Programming Coordinator at an assisted living community. We hired Jonathan to play the Cello at our Christmas party for our residents and their families/friends. Our theme was A Christmas Carol. Jonathan was so wonderful. He played like a pro. If you are looking for someone with quality, Jonathan is your guy.
