- Stanley Guy Jonson (* 5. November 1913 in Finchley; † 10. März 2009) war ein englischer Pianist und Musikpädagoge. Jonson hatte als Kind Klavierunterricht bei Betty Humby, der zweiten Frau des Dirigenten Thomas Beecham. Im Alter von 14 Jahren setzte er seine Ausbildung an der Klavierschule von Tobias Matthay fort. 1930 gewann er ein Ada-Lewis-Stipendium für die Royal Academy of Music, setzte jedoch daneben seine Ausbildung bei Matthay fort. 1936 debütierte er als Pianist in der Wigmore Hall, zur gleichen Zeit spielte er Livekonzerte für die Überseeprogramme der BBC. 1939 wurde er jüngster Professor an der Royal Academy, wurde aber bald zum Kriegsdienst eingezogen. Wegen eines rheumatischen Herzleidens wurde er zum Army Educational Corps versetzt, von wo aus er die Möglichkeit hatte, Konzerte mit dem Southern Symphony Orchestra in Southampton zu dirigieren. 1946 kehrte er zur Royal Academy zurück. Zu seinen Schülern zählten u. a. die Pianisten Dimitris Sgouros, Matrin Jones und Philip Smith sowie die Komponisten Iain Hamilton und Sir John Tavener. Als Konzertpianist trat Jonson in ganz Europa, Südafrika, Süd- und Mittelamerika auf. 1954, 1960 und 1963 unternahm er jeweils zehnwöchige Konzerttourneen durch Kanada. 1995 gab er in der Wigmore Hall sein Abschiedskonzert. 1998 spielte er das Album Echoes from a Golden Era mit Werken von Joseph Haydn, Frédéric Chopin, Claude Debussy, Isaac Albéniz und anderen ein.

- Guy Jonson (5 November 1913 – 10 March 2009) was an English classical Pianist and distinguished music teacher. He was born Stanley Guy Johnson at Finchley, north London, the son of an auctioneer. 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 gave his first piano recital in Eastbourne at the age of 13. 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). In 1930, at the age of 16, he won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music in London. Subsequently, he studied under Alfred Cortot. His first major recital was given at the famous Wigmore Hall, London, in November 1936, and he went on to perform several solo recitals and concertos for the BBC (at Broadcasting House) which were broadcast live on the overseas radio network. In 1939, shortly after being made the youngest ever Professor at the Royal Academy, Jonson was called up to serve in the Royal Artillery, then the Army Educational Corps. He married Patricia Burrell in 1944. In 1946 he was demobilized and returned to his position of Professor at the Royal Academy.
