Ready for some background music?! Private parties, company parties, I'm open to almost any engagement. All I ask is don't make me sing.... There is a reason why I play piano. My training consist of both jazz improv, and classical. If you have a school contest you need an accompaniment don't hesitate to ask because i do those as well! You might enjoy my selection of pieces for that romantic wedding you've always been dreaming of, or you could always give me songs YOU want at your wedding. It is your big day after all. If you need a fill for a charity concert I'll even do that for free. My travel radius is as far as you need, but If it is more than 350 miles, I will need compensation. Try me!
Jon performed for our Past Master's and Masonic Widow's dinner last Saturday and we all really enjoyed his music. I look forward to having Jon back to entertain us again in the future. He is really talented.
Jon is an extraordinary pianist. His music is delightful and is enjoyable to any audience. You will not be disappointed.
Jon is such an accomplished and passionate pianist. We have had him play at our church. He plays such a huge variety of music from light and lyrical to classical. A great joy to listen to!
My wife and I heard Jon play for the first time on an old piano in a back room in his home. I thought that he was the most talented piano player I had ever heard in person. Later, when he played a recital on a brand new piano (that was later that night given to him as a gift), I knew then what a special gift God has given to this young man. Jon reaches into our hearts and draws us into worship through his piano playing. It has been our honor and special joy to know him and to hear him play.
Jon has a great talent for enticing the audience to feel the music he plays. His play is exciting and fun. The moods elicited range from somber and serious to exhilirating and joyful. Enjoy his talent while it remains affordable. You will be amazed and impressed.
I was taken aback when I heard Jon play at a Christmas recital years ago. After rudimentary Christmas pieces played by the newest students, Jon's set included a decidedly non-Christmas piece that was supremely difficult and refreshingly new. It should have been, He scored the piece himself at perhaps 13 or 14 years old?
Since then I have seen him play with Gary Levinson, Concertmaster with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and a solo concert at Steinway Hall in Fort Worth celebrating his piano teacher.
It won't be long before Jon's hourly rates will be minimum ticket prices for his concerts in the not-so-distant future.
I have known Jon for more than 5 years as a Minister of Music. More than his playing, Jon has a servant's heart and would fit well in any professional capacity. Always well prepared, he is a "pianist's" pianist with the drive and compassion to make any writer of music beam with his interpretation of their music. Jon is sensitive to his surroundings and is driven by a passion for his music that you rarely see in someone his age. He is an absolute gift and you would be well served to hire him at his rates while you can. I know that he will be compensated well for his dedication. Hire this guy!
I have known Jonathon A. Rosemann for many years; and despite that fact he has never failed to surprise me in his ability to impress me with his delicate and fiercely passionate interpretations. Jon possesses that rare spark of dedication and innate intelligence indicative of a legend. He has complete command over the keyboard, a proper heir the Cziffra if there ever was one. His interpretations are both raw and powerful, as well as refined and intoxicating, drawing every aspect of musical sensory to form a mental euphoria the likes of which I have not seen since Rubinstein. Jon is a dedicated and hard working man, and a true gift to the musical community, he deserves all the best, and I am fully proud to call him my friend and truly honored to have heard him play his bewitching piano.
I have known Jon for most of his life. He is an incredible talent coupled with a great heart. Jon has ministered in music at Macksville Free Methodist Church where I serve as Senior Pastor. Those in attendance were astonished with his musical talent and many have asked when could he make a return visit.
I would recommend Jon without reservation if for no other reason than I would be able to say, "I knew him when..." He has ability far beyond his years and his resume is impressive to say the least. What he has accomplished thus far in his young career is simply a start to greatness.

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.
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.

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.
