I am a pianist and vocal coach based in the East Midlands. I enjoy a variety of work including rehearsing and performing with theatre companies, preparing singers and actors for performances and playing with my jazz trio.

About me
Book Jonathan Jarvis on Encore Musicians
  • Alisdair Hogarth

    “Jonathan is an outstanding musician, and always a joy to work with. He’s extremely versatile whether in solo piano, chamber music, song or jazz, and he brings a distinctive flair to everything he plays.”

    Alisdair Hogarth, Pianist & Steinway Artist

  • Samantha Malk

    “At home in a variety of musical genres, Jonathan Jarvis has a magical presence on the keys. He offers an incredibly versatile skillset to both singers and instrumentalists, and is an artist committed to finding joy, imagination and sparkle in all his performances and collaborations.”

    Samantha Malk, Guildhall School of Music & Drama

  • Ben Johnson

    “Jon's expertise as an MD was invaluable to our company. He skilfully transposed scores and harmonies, customising them to perfectly fit our CYCC companies. Jon's support extended to every member of the cast, where he consistently went above and beyond expectations. His dedication and professionalism made a significant impact, and we are incredibly grateful for his contributions.”

    Ben Johnson, Theatre Director

  • "I was fortunate to have Jonathan play at a recent birthday celebration of mine. His performance was exemplary and a testament to his considerable talent."

    David, Leicester

  • "I have singing lessons with Jonathan and it is a joy every time. He has put me at ease from the beginning and has supported me brilliantly ever since. The lessons combine excellent vocal technique training with supportive, encouraging guidance that has helped me to grow both in confidence and ability. His musical abilities are fantastic. I have now joined a choir and I can say that Jonathan has helped me to find my voice."

    Anne, Singing

  • "In our position as organisers of the Leicester Samaritans Beer Festival we have had the task of finding musicians to provide entertainment. We have been extremely lucky to secure the services of Jonathan who has not only provided first class musicianship, but has also shown an overall positivity which has made the process a pleasure."

    Claire, SAMS BeerFest

  • "I have had the pleasure of taking piano lessons with Jonathan over the past couple of years. Jonathan teaches in a professional and very enjoyable manner, and I greatly appreciate his dedication.

    D. K, Piano
