Student Reviews:

5/5 "Nate's approach to teaching music is clear, concise, and easy to understand. He builds an actionable path forward toward your goals with a no pressure approach that allows you to enjoy the progress you make at your own pace. In just a few simple lessons I improved my understanding of the guitar by leaps and bounds." - Tyler 9/19/25

5/5 "Nathan is an excellent teacher for beginner guitarists. He is knowledgeable, patient, and relentlessly encouraging. He empowers me to play what I want to play and learn what I want to learn. He also goes the extra mile before and after each lesson to make sure I have everything I need for my personal practice. Without his lessons, I wouldn't be progressing half as fast as I am." - Michael 7/23/21

5/5 "Nathan's optimism and continuous support helped reignite my passion for writing and playing! It's obvious that he puts [an] abundance of time and energy into personalizing a lesson plan for you, constantly assessing (and reassessing) your goals and then laying out achievable steps you can take to reach those. He has never been discouraging or judgmental; on the contrary, I look forward to sharing my progress with him each week. He breaks otherwise daunting concepts into small, palatable portions, teaching and incorporating into your practice regimen seamlessly. Outside of musical theory and technique, he also has advice for a number of problems, whether it be regarding networking, stage presence, recording, or less music-based problems, such as burning out or handling drastic life changes. If you're looking for a talented, empathetic teacher who truly cares about you and your pursuit of music, Nathan is my only recommendation!" - Adam, 8/2/21

5/5 "After a long time trying to find a guitar instructor with affordable rates and availability that suits my needs, I am so glad to have been referred to Nathan. He radiates kindness and patience, making it easy to quickly feel comfortable with him. He moves at my pace and shows interest in the songs I want to learn and my own goals rather than working from an agenda. Nathan offers Covid conscious in-person as well as Zoom lessons which is convenient. I highly recommend him and I am so glad to learn from him." - Will, 8/28/21

5/5 "As a former bandmate of Nathan's, I can say his passion for music is contagious! An excellent songwriter and player, he approaches the guitar with the confidence of a seasoned pro but the humility of a life-long learner." - Jeff, 8/1/21

5/5 "I've worked with Nathan as a songwriting collaborator on various projects in the past and I can attest to his talent as a guitarist and songwriter. Nathan is a very innovative composer and an incredibly kind and thoughttul person. I've had the pleasure of co-writing and workshopping songs with him and it's always an inspiring experience. I would strongly recommend him as a guitar instructor and songwriting teacher." - Brian, 8/3/21
