About Nathan C.
5.0
(3)
Originally from Washington, I started taking piano lessons in second grade. In high school, my piano teacher suggested that I start teaching piano lessons, and after the first couple lessons with my first student, I found that I loved teaching! Watching a student grow and improve is one of the most rewarding experiences a teacher can have in life.
I am a classically trained pianist with a bachelors degree in music and I'm currently pursuing my masters. I have five years of teaching experience with students ranging from young children to adults. I'm patient and laid back and I believe that learning should be enjoyable. I'm flexible with my teaching style. Each student learns differently and I like to try to teach based on how the student learns best.
*** Lesson Details ***
Lessons are designed to help students reach their goals. I like to find a balance of teaching proper technique and music theory during lessons. In addition to this, students work on a piece or pieces that is more properly suited for a recital or they work on a larger project that is directly related to their personal goals.
*** Specialties ***
I like to find a balance between teaching technique, and teaching musical understanding.

He's gotten Delilah a lot further through her book, knowledge and relit her motivation for playing in 3 lessons more than other teachers did in a year. Great refresher.

Patient Piano Teacher
Nathan has been great with our 13 yr old son (who does not always given piano practice his full attention). Still, Nathan stayed with him, never lost enthusiasm, and kept our son engaged and learning. Nathan has an approachable, patient style. He does a good job mixing types of music and a variety of practice elements. Today, I am surprised by what my son can play on the piano and his knowledge of music. We look forward to continuing to work with Nathan.
