Jon Hinthorne: Leaving the Vertical World
Audio only
Jon started playing the piano at the age of 4, an age when his feet could not reach the pedals of the piano. Required to take at least two years of piano lessons by his mother, he realized early that he would continue beyond those two beginning years. From age 4 till age 12, Jon took formal lessons in the Suzuki and John Schwam methods before taking a break from piano lessons due to a heavy school and sports schedule.
During his Freshman year at a small private school in St. Louis, MO, Jon wrote his first, original, solo piano composition. This piece was written in a modified-Sonata style and still is one of Jon’s favorite pieces. It is a short, simple, and vibrant piece of music that received the title track honors of his first album (“Progressions Through Time”). Before he knew it, he had 18 original compositions which became his first album, “Progressions Through Time” (2003).
While at a small private Liberal Arts college in southern Illinois, he wrote the music for and recorded his second album, “Elation” (2005), and “Leaving The Vertical World” (2007). He received a double major in Spanish and History from Principia College while at the same time having three self-produced original, solo-piano albums.
Jon is currently living in San Jose, CA and working on the music for his fourth album (release date TBD). Playing the piano and writing music is something that makes Jon who he is. He is grateful to have the opportunity to share it with people all across the globe. He has sold albums in almost all of the 50 U.S. states and in the countries of: Japan, South Korea, England, Australia, Peru, Mexico, Spain, and France.

LOVED HEARING YOU ON THE INTERNET – BECAUSE YOU ARE REALLY LOVED BY MY AND
THE ST. CHARLES CHURCH! GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU.
Wow! I love it and where it comes from spiritually. Mrs. Eddy says, “When will mankind awake to know their present ownership of all good, and praise and love the spot where God dwells most conspicuously in His reflection of love and leadership?”
Miscellany, 356:1-4. Thank you Jonathan!
Beautiful – reminds me of Rick Wakeman, Sea Airs, Night Airs, and his other piano albums. Hope it’s ok that I went off and downloaded tracks from Amazon [UK].
Thank you so much for your support! Glad you enjoyed the music. Pass it along and hopefully it brings you all joy and peace.
Will do, John, but I’ve also left you a couple of reviews on Amazon.uk. Hope it may broaden your audience, across the [vertical] world. And hope to hear when your next album emerges.
Oops, sorry, misprint – Jon!
Sweet, sparkling, refreshing! Thanks so much!!!
That was really beautiful
Lovely, Jon! And, realizing you “couldn’t live without Christian Science” will surely continue to open even deeper vistas into the glorious discovery of the element of Soul represented as music. How fortunate for us to hear it shared. Thank you.
Beautiful! Loved it! Clicked on CDBaby link and bought the CD! Thanks for sharing your inspiration and music!
