About Jonathan
Hi! I'm Jonathan Saraga—a New York City based professional trumpeter, flugelhornist, composer, educator and Doctor of Musical Arts.
I have been working professionally as a trumpeter, composer and arranger for 2 decades as well as a private teacher, ensemble director, clinician and lecturer within public school, private school, charter school, and university environments for the past 10 years. I appear on 30+ studio albums, in 250+ YouTube videos, and have personally engaged with audiences in over 500 cities, nearly 70 countries and just short of 100 different universities world-wide. I have 25+ years of musical training, including 9 within conservatory settings, and 6 within intensive program environments.
I hold 3 Trumpet Performance/Jazz Studies degrees and have been recognized 35 times in the form competitive selections from 25 national and international organizations, featuring 9 composition competition placements, 9 grant/commission receipts, 6 residency invitations/placements, 4 trumpet competition placements, 4 workshop invitations and 3 educational conference invitations. I have performed throughout Canada, the Caribbean, Central America, Europe, Asia and the U.S. via multiple national tours, and have been employed by dozens of GRAMMY-nominated and/or winning artists.
Since 2010, I have been teaching all-level/all-age music playing and appreciation courses for a host of New York City-based organizations, including the Afro-Latin Jazz Academy, The Gramercy Brass Orchestra of New York, New York Ensemble Classes, the Lyceum Kennedy International School, Jubilee Enrichment Programs, Jazz Empowers and the New York Jazz Academy. I also served for 6 semesters as a Graduate Part-Time Instructor at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where I taught multiple playing ensembles as well as three semesters of a 100+ student History of Jazz lecture class for non-majors. Finally, my private studio has been active since 2011 and has garnered 5-Star ratings on Yelp (47 Reviews) and Google (21 Reviews), as well as 2 “People Love us on Yelp" awards, a this website "Top Pro" award, a “Best of Tuturs.com” award and a "We're Highly Recommended by Locals on Alignable" award.
I teach out of my home apartment studio on the upper east side, complete with weighted 88-key digital piano, Bose high quality speakers, audio and video recording equipment, as well as musical media, and tablature spanning many musical genres, cultures and time periods. I also am equipped with a spacious floor space for Yoga, Pilates, Weightlifting, and Meditation. I specialize in the following broad areas of musical study: General Music, Composition, Arranging, Ear Training, Music History (includes classical, jazz, and world musics), Music Theory, Sight Singing, and Songwriting, as well as in the following instruments: Trumpet, Flugelhorn, and Piano/Keyboards.
While I have invested over tens of thousands of hours into my musical training, my interests, practices, and skill sets extend beyond sound, into the realms of visual art, and even the sciences, psychonautics and spirituality. I have been practicing various forms of fitness, meditation and Yoga for the past 10 years, and my studies span the gamut of psychology, philosophy, calisthenics, astral projection, Reiki, Vipassana meditation, various forms of visualization, and much more. I believe and live by the idea that creativity is an energy that flows through us, and one's creative abilities can be improved and expanded, through the emotional body, which is influenced by one's perceptions. Throughout my training in music, the arts, as well as my physical, mental and spiritual pursuits, I have realized that discipline, creative flow, and love for what one is and what one does can come together and yield great fulfillment and sense of purpose. I look forward to being a part of your journey!
