Piano Technician

Jonathan Patterson joined Baylor’s staff in 2021 as a piano technician, working to fight entropy and make constant improvements to the university’s large collection of instruments. 

Jonathan completed a B.M. in piano performance, with a secondary emphasis in choral music form Liberty University in 2010 and an M.M. from the University of North Carolina in 2014.  While completing his master’s in music theory, Jonathan studied pipe organ performance with Dr. Andre Lash and Piano Technology, with a focus on rebuilding under Mr. Charles Angel, RPT.  Since 2015, Jonathan has been living in southeast Missouri and working as a freelance piano technician, private piano instructor, collaborative pianist, and serving as church organist and music director for the First Presbyterian Church of Cape Girardeau, MO.

Aside from his work in instrument repair and maintenance, Jonathan plays “classical” accordion, pipe organ, and piano, and has special interests in early music, musical acoustics, and historic/alternate temperaments.
