Instruments:
Nathaniel started teaching at the Community School of the Arts at Stetson University in 2004 while earning is undergraduate degree in Percussion Performance. He currently teaches piano and drums in the Germantown area of Maryland. Students say he is very patient and "hands on", he will show you how to play, not just tell you.
Instruments:
Regardless of the instrument, or level at which my students perform, I always incorporate ear training, music theory exercises, and games into each lesson. With the help of method books and other sources of inspiration, I cater the curriculum to each student's strengths and weaknesses. Live performances are crucial to fully understanding any instrument, and so I encourage my students to perform live as much as possible--and I help them find those opportunities. I also make sure each student is well-organized, and make sure to keep a log of all assignments and lessons, so parents can see if the student is truly progressing.
Instruments:
Seeing my students having fun and improving, makes me know I am doing my job right. I will encourage and set realistic goals for them each lesson period. I encourage them at all lessons to practice because they will see improvement which will fuel their desire for success.
Instruments:
My experience with teaching actually came from teaching my peers in school about drums. Soon enough, I was introduced to teaching from my own drum teacher, and my first experience was teaching classes for young children. Eventually, I was introduced to students of all ages by friends and family, and I branched out slowly from there. Now, I have students from 8 to 60, all whom I am comfortable teaching. It is encouraging to see the students have fun, but most of all, it is a passion I want to develop with the student. For me, playing drums was never "practice" or an "obligation." I couldn't wait to play, and I bring that attitude to all of my students, hoping they would feel the same way.
Instruments:
I like to find out why my students are interested in playing music. This helps me to create a lesson plan for each individual one. I like to start out teaching using Alfred's beginner books, and progress from there. Each student learns at a different pace, so I base my lessons off of their progress. I have found that doing this helps keep the student motivated and encouraged in the process of learning their given instrument. Also using this technique helps when beginning the process of music theory.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
