ABOUT
Originally from Québec City, Canada, it is now life in the countryside that brings Serge-André Jones the calm and inspiration for his work.
​
Trained as a classical pianist, his parallel interests in other styles (pop, jazz, minimalism, film music) nourished the varied colour spectrum he uses as a composer.
​
His work is influenced first by his heightened sensitivity, the freedom of his imagination and also by the great mastery he has of his main instrument.
​
Simultaneously to his work as a composer, Serge-André Jones works as a performing pianist, accompagnying pianist, music teacher and is developping a particular healing music therapy.
PROFESSION
​Serge-André Jones has been working as a piano teacher for 26 years. Begginers, intermediates or avanced. Students of all ages. Repertoire of all styles, song accompaniment, improvisation, compostion, musical theory. Watch for his student concerts in the town of Sutton in the Eastern Townships.
He can give varied private concerts in your own home, playing his own music or your preferences. He can also play as a cocktail musician. Classical pieces, jazz, popular songs, film music, as well as his improvisations and compositions will create the special touch for your events.
You have a project and need an accompanying pianist? Serge-André Jones has been accompanying for over 20 years. Singers, instruments, choirs, dance et even art classes!
He is also interested in music therapy. Based on the fact that each and every public reacts differently to a same piece of music and nourrishes directly the musicians' inspiration while he plays, Serge-André has developped a simple healing therapy in which he improvises with someone next to him, the person having talked or not, sitting silently, resting or even dancing. The simple presence of the other nourrishes the pianists' inspiration and several people have shared feeling well liberated after sessions.
