    Learn Music Theory from a Doctoral Music Student, Musician with 20 years experience

    I think it's very important for teachers to be focused on their student's specific goals and needs. If you just need a little help with some music theory homework, I would love to help guide you through that! If you want to work on increasing your understanding of a wide range of musical topics, I will create a plan specifically for you and help you make that progress. I can't wait to get to work with you!

    About Dr. Nathan G.

    Hello! My name is Dr. Nathan G.! I'm a music teacher based in Hot Springs, AR. 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!

    Nathan is the best viola teacher I’ve ever had. His vast knowledge of the instrument allowed him to explain certain concepts in a methodical way that made me feel like I was truly learning. In addition to being a great teacher he is an equally great performer who continues to model exactly what I want to be as a violist. I can not recommend Nathan more!

    I really enjoyed my lessons with Nathan. He was really patient with me and helped explain things in ways that worked well for me.
