Guitar with Nathaniel N.

I am a thoroughly patient and unpretentious music teacher. I have a lighthearted approach to lessons; music does not need to be a stressful thing. A true love for music is cultivated by a positive relationship with your instrument and the music that you are passionate about, and it is this belief that guides me as a teacher. This doesn't mean that we won't work hard or learn a lot. Music and repetition are inescapably intertwined, and in order to become skilled musicians we must embrace the repetitive nature of practice. Music is many different things for many different people: for some, it is reading music off a page. For others, it is strumming chords, reading tabs, improvising, or writing songs. My approach to curriculum with each student is different, as I find no two students ever have the same interests, goals, and learning style. Here are some frequently requested subjects: Fingerpicking Strumming Singing and playing at the same time Electric guitar rhythm & lead styles Music composition and songwriting Reading music, tabs, and/or chord charts Learning songs and styles (pop, rock, folk, jazz, metal, etc) Audio recording and production (Logic, Garageband)
