About
Jonathan Oldham
Born in Tennessee and raised in North Carolina, Jonathan Oldham is an aspiring flutist, pianist, and musician now based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
At eleven, Jonathan discovered the flute having been previously inspired by the Irish Tin Whistle/Flute. Jonathan desired to play an instrument that had the beauty and simplicity of the Irish Flute, but also featured greater complexity and virtuosity. The flute offered just that. Within a couple of years, he began taking private lessons with flutist, performer, and pedagog, Catherine LeGrand. Under her teaching, Jonathan's passion for music and the flute grew exponentially, leading to performances with bands and orchestras on stages such as the Schermerhorn in Nashville, Tennessee (2019) and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. (2020).
While in high school, Jonathan participated in the Youth Orchestra of Charlotte as Principal Flutist (2022) and had the honor to actively serve on the Raleigh Area Flute Association board as the High School Representative (2021–2022). During his time with the Raleigh Area Flute Association, Jonathan also went on to win the SoloFest Competition (2019) and compete as a finalist in the Artist Competition (2021).
Returning to Tennessee, Jonathan received his Bachelor of Music in Flute Performance (2026) at Middle Tennessee State University under the teaching and musicianship of Dr. Deanna Hahn-Little. While at MTSU, he performed as a finalist in the Raleigh Area Flute Association Artist Competition (2022 and 2023) and the National Flute Association Collegiate Flute Choir (2023). An active member on campus, he participated in the Wind Ensemble, Symphony Orchestra, Flute Choir, Chamber Winds, Chamber Ensemble, and Pit Orchestra.
Jonathan enjoys combining his passion for performing and teaching in a way that seeks to lean into the intricacies and creative beauty that music has to offer. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family and working on his family farm back in North Carolina.
Instrument
Jonathan plays on a Brannen Millennium flute with a head joint made by Mancke.
