A native of Los Angeles, Jason Jeffrey began piano lessons at an early age with Phyllis Duronslet after school, who was also his music and choir teacher. He later studied with her colleague Barbara Siegal, who worked with him all through middle and high school. It was during this time that his love for music grew, and he made the decision to pursue a degree in music. Jason later graduated class of 2014 from the University of the Pacific Conservatory of Music with a Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance. His teachers include Professor Frank Wiens, Dr. Sonia Leong, and Dr. Rex Cooper. After graduation, Jason continued to take private lessons with other professors in the area to further his understanding and build on his foundation of music. Some of his teachers have included Dr. Sarah Chan of Cal State Stanislaus and Dr. Nina Scolnik of UC Irvine, Mark Steiner, and others. He continues being an active musician by accompanying student and professional instrumentalists, accompanying church and community choirs, including the Pinecone Performers in Groveland, CA. He enjoys putting on concerts and recitals and is a returning performer of the Bach Sonora Festival. He revived the Cathedral Concert Series in 2017 at the Cathedral of the Annunciation, a series dedicated to showcasing local professional musicians and the beauty of music by offering a variety of genres ranging from classical, to jazz, to Mexican art songs, and contemporary works. He currently resides in Stockton with his wife Mari and enjoys traveling, watching Netflix, eating great food with friends and family, and spending time by the ocean in San Diego and Lake Tahoe.
