Once we moved to the Historic Core, we found Nathan ’s violin lessons, and my daughter began to truly look forward to his regular practice.

Thanks to Nathan and sharp pedagogical methods, I felt well-prepared for my orchestral audition. He meticulously worked with me on complex bowing patterns and refined my shifts to higher notes. Beyond that, his focus on vibrato and his provided warm-ups have clearly made my musical tone better.

Switching from plucking to bowing was initially challenging for our 8-year-old, but thanks to Nathan ’s engaging music lessons in Encanto, which include rhythm games and call-and-response melodies, he now stays focused and happy throughout each session.

The classes in Sandburg Village provided me with the essential technical skills I had previously lacked. Thanks to Nathan Glenidge instruction I now have a clearer understanding of bowing technique, posture and how to produce a richer sound.

My daughter gained solid posture and better technique early in his violin journey thanks to Nathan lessons in Apalachee Ridge. His method is both detailed and wonderfully supportive making a real difference in his progress.

It's difficult to teach an adult novice, but Nathan was kind, funny, and really supportive. I have already registered for the upcoming term in Carmel , having recently finished Book 1.

Breaking down hard vocal stuff suddenly felt easy once Nathan strated giving me violin lessons. Honestly, I think Durham’s lucky to have someone who teaches like his.
