Review by Sam
"Nate has been my songwriting instructor for over a year. I have greatly benefited from his teaching. For nearly 30 years I had played guitar with the ho
pe that songs would simply "happen". They didn't. Nate demystified the songwriting process. He has helped me to actually create songs from scratch (just a simple melody recorded on an iPhone) or to build on ideas that were riffs. Moreover, he focuses on all aspects of songwriting: Lyrical content, melody, harmony and recording/production. So, I have, at the end of our work, an actual recorded song (professionally produced) that I can share with friends or keep in the vault. Nate is very patient and a good listener. He tries to understand what my songs are about and how to better reflect the message through the music. I highly recommend Nate. He has been a great musical mentor."

Since its founding in 2006, I have been involved Neighbor to Neighbor Outreach (NTNO), a non-profit organization whose goal it is to insure that the children, youth, and adults of inner-city St. Louis are provided tutoring for every imaginable subject.

About Nipun
I'm a student from India currently pursuing a Master's degree in Piano Performance at Longy School of Music of Bard College.
Although I've spent most of my time up until now studying music, I have also had the opportunity to teach students of different ages. If there's one thing that I've learnt from my experiences so far, it is that there's no definite maximum age to start learning piano at. The only requirements for one to be able to learn to play any instrument are patience and the will to learn and work hard.
I focus mainly on helping students develop a healthy, efficient technique and good interpretative skills.

I majored in music education/ flute performance in my undergraduate. I taught flute classes during my undergraduate study. Most of my 15 flute students continually engaged in all kinds of music making. Parents and students both love the way of learning the flute.
My teaching philosophy is a student-centered teaching model. In my class, I, as a facilitator, but authority, hope to build a bridge that is connecting both teacher's music world and students' music world! Now, Let's have fun!

I love music, I know how it works. I know how pianos and hands work. I know how to get hands to make music with pianos. Beware, it takes patience and practice.
I took my first piano lesson when I was 5. I played Euphonium (Baritone Tuba) in concert band and marching band in Elementary School, Middle School, and High School. I taught myself guitar and played keyboards and guitar (really loud guitar) in rock bands. I took some flute lessons. I got Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Piano. I also studied pipe organ. I studied electronic music. I accompanied opera singers and choirs. I taught piano, music theory, harmony, and electronic music privately and for universities. I've played in the orchestras for operas, musicals and theatrical productions. I've worked as a church organist. I played keyboards in oldies bands. I've sung in church

I have spent the last 35 years teaching elementary and middle school band in a community known for its strong music program.
I love teaching music to students.. especially the art of playing trumpet. I try to incorporate fun and enthusiasm in each lesson while accomplishing some short term and long term goals. The student is my ultimate focus during the lesson time. Sometimes my students arrive and have a total different idea of concepts or literature in which they wish to make progress different from what I had planned. We are always able to accommodate these shifts in plans while reaching our lesson goals.
I enjoy working with students in the middle school ages. I find that this is when they make the greatest growth. There is nothing better that seeing a child's face as the bulbs go off concerning musical concepts. I believe tha

I still remember how much he cared for every single kid in each of his bands. There are people who are put on this earth to teach and he is one of those. I can't imagine how my life would have turned out if it weren't for Dr. Mealey.
I can't recommend studying with him any more highly.
· Music Performance ·
It was always a pleasure to watch Dr. Mealey and his students perform in concert. The looks of joy were always evident with everyone in the house - members of the ensemble, its director, and the audience.
You can't go wrong with Dr. Mealey.
