Families that I lived with a little bit in junior high and quite a bit in high school and college. Just to have a safe, sane space with food and things like that. That's what I needed. And people were really kind and really generous. So I think the world kind of opened up my first years of performing arts, studying classical saxophone with Caesar DiMauro.
Jon GordonSometimes I say to my students, "We get to come and listen to our favorite recordings and try to learn from them and emulate that and hopefully we can inspire other people the way we've been inspired."

Jon GordonWhen you believe, the impossible becomes possible. What you believe will become what is true. Your optimism today will determine your level of success tomorrow. Donโt look at your challenges; look up and look out into the future. Donโt focus on your circumstances. Focus on the right beliefs that will help you build your success.
