About Jonathan Hall



Jonathan Hall has been in love with the organ and its music for just about all of his life. Music in general has been one of the mainstays of his busy and varied life.


He overcame a late start to become an accomplished pianist, organist, harpsichordist, lyric baritone, choral director, and recorder player. As an organist, he has concertized in the United States and abroad.


To this list he has also added teacher of music theory--a subject he deeply appreciates. He has taught aural and written music theory and basic musicianship at New York University.


His other artistic passion, literature and writing, has found outlet in many articles and reviews, poems and essays, and his book (see below). At NYU, he also taught graduate-level courses in music criticism for years.


Hall earned the Doctor of Music degree from the Jacobs School of Music of Indiana University, Bloomington. He also holds degrees from the University of Chicago and elsewhere. He is a Fellow of the American Guild of Organists and a Fellow of Trinity College London, in addition to other distinctions.


He has served the American Guild of Organists with distinction, contributing many questions for the certification exams and serving on the Board of Examiners for years. His work culiminated in his service as Chair of the Committee on Professional Certification from 2015 to 2019.


Hall is the author of Calvin Hampton: A Musician Without Borders, and is frequently published in the pages of The American Organist magazine. A native of Manhattan, he lives in upstate New York right on the cusp of the "Black Dirt Region" of Orange County.
