His Master's thesis explored innovative music education and ethnomusicology. Jonathan's performance ability on a multiplicity of percussion instruments results from his planetary music education (stretching from Norway to Indonesia).

Some of these include: David Darling, Mark Whitecage, Perry Robinson, "T" Fleisher, David Rothenberg and R. Carlos Nakai.
