I was viola section leader during three of my four years at Gaither High School, inspired to pursue music by my orchestra teacher Heather Grier (world-renowned violinist and friend of Andrea Bocceli). After graduating, I attended Hillsborough Community College as a music major, and I landed my first teaching job at Excel Music as a substitute teacher.

My method and teaching style are one in the same. I am a teacher of music, not a task master. The student will only succeed if he/she sees some success.

I like teaching beginners something easy. Then, I play along with what they learned. Read More

By setting routines together Im sure we could come to an agreement on how we could both help each other achieve our goals and succeed. Read More

Hello, my name is Nate Bernard. I have been guitar instructing on and off for 15 years along with performing and recording music.

I like to make learning the guitar fun, and put to ease the frustrations of doing assignments that will inspire any child or adult to want to learn more. Read More
