Guy Jonson[1] (5 November 1913 – 10 March 2009) was an English classical Pianist and distinguished music teacher.
Though neither of his parents were musical, his prodigious talent at the piano was recognized from an early age and he became a pupil of Betty Humby, wife of the distinguished conductor Sir Thomas Beecham.
He attended Highgate School in north London but left at 14 to continue his piano studies with Tobias Matthay (formerly of the Royal Academy of Music).
Guy Jonson adjudicated at music festivals throughout Britain and Ireland and gave piano recitals all around the world.
Among his distinguished pupils were Pianists Dimitris Sgouros, Martin Jones, Angela Lear, Julian Saphir and Philip Smith and the composers Sir John Tavener and Iain Hamilton.
