Hello! My name is Nathan! I'm a doctoral student and violist living in Athens, GA with my wife, Rebecca, and my scruffy rescue terrier, Rory. I have been teaching private music lessons since 2012, worked as a graduate teaching assistant at Miami University for musicology courses for two years, and currently work as a research fellow and teaching assistant at the University of Georgia.

I draw most of my inspiration in my own work from the people who helped inspire me throughout my education. I have so many opportunities today because very special teachers, tutors, and teaching assistants stepped in and helped me along. I want to pay that forward and keep it going. I also really enjoy teaching and tutoring! I'm excited to hear from you!

In my master's program, I worked as a teaching assistant for four music history courses. In my current doctoral program, I am pursuing a musicology cognate along with my performance major.

I am currently pursuing a doctorate of musical arts in the viola performance at the University or Georgia. I began playing the viola - and later violin - in 2003 and have been teaching privately since 2012. While pursuing my master's degree, I worked as a teaching assistant for four musicology courses and currently am pursuing a musicology cognate in my doctoral program. I also currently work as a teaching assistant and graduate fellow at the University of Georgia.

I have performed with Symphony Orchestras in Tennessee since 2014, performed as a soloist in Bulgaria, Austria, and the U.S., and have recorded in Nashville, TN for television soundtracks and with Athens artist, Kishi Bashi.

I would love to hear from you if you are interested in taking private lessons or tutoring!
