I used to freeze up just thinking about playing in front of people. Then I started working with Nathanael at that little music space in Stapleton. First time I got through a whole song at an open mic without my hands shaking.Best damn feeling ever.

I was struggling a lot to find the right tutor, but then I found Nathanael . He mixes drills with jam sessions, which has made learning so much more enjoyable. My teen now loves learning everything from chord theory to lead solos.
