J.A.M.

Jason has been performing music since he was four years old. It all started with the St. Paul’s Children’s Choir. He sang and played in choirs, bands, and orchestras and acted in almost every play and musical through grade school. Throughout those years he developed into an accomplished PMEA and ACDA honors student performer across district, regional, state, and honors levels. Through his time at Penn State as a music major he performed in multiple choirs and was involved in Opera and theater productions. From his youth to adulthood Jason was an active member of the State College Community Theater group where he performed many company and leading roles. Additionally he spent many years training and performing in multiple styles of dance, predominantly ballet, with The Ballet Theatre of Central Pennsylvania. In his spare time he began experimenting with guitar and other instruments leading him to become a weekly performing entertainer of covers and original songs throughout the State and beyond. Ultimately is passion for music of all styles formed him into a songwriter who has released an album of original material and multiple singles and has now dedicated his knowledge of creation to his students.

Below is a table that archives a variety of performance accomplishments through his career. First is prominent musical and ballet shows, roles, and locations performed. Then Choral works and styles. Finally memorable Symphonic works and suites as a tuba or trombone player.

*This list is dedicated to major works. It does not archive the exceedingly long and challenging list of individual works and compositions performed over the course of two decades of solo, choral, and instrumental ensemble experience.
