He has appeared at Avery Fischer Hall in Lincoln Center; many college campuses; the Concerts Grand and Dance Palace piano series in Marin County; Sebastopol Center for the Arts; and Old First Church and the Victorian Englander House in San Francisco.

In addition to public appearances, he performs at private homes and is often involved in fundraisers and similar community events.
As a collaborative artist, John has appeared with dozens of singers, including Maxine Bernstein, Executive Director of San Francisco-based LIEDER ALIVE!, and Roberta Wain-Becker, director of Golden Gate Opera. He has also accompanied almost every orchestral instrument, with the possible exception of the piccolo and euphonium. John wrote commentary on the Bay Area classical music scene for San Francisco Classical Voice and is an officer of the Marin County branch of the California Music Teachers' Association.
As a teacher of both children and adults, John emphasizes a strong, natural technique, and shares his passion for the piano and its incomparable literature. His approach successfully assists students in achieving their highest potential. In his vocal coaching work, John focuses on good diction, maintenance of the line through good support and breathing, and overall musicianship.
John has served as a judge at many competitions, including the United States Open Music Competition. He is a member of the music ministry team at All Saints Lutheran Church in Novato where, in addition to accompanying the choir, he appears as tenor soloist and directs Queen’s Court, a chamber ensemble of young women.
