A Musician Who
Knows the Journey


Hi, I'm Nathaniel — a Jamestown High School junior with 7 years of woodwind performance experience across classical, jazz, and community music. I play saxophone, clarinet, oboe, and English horn at a competitive level, and I know firsthand what it takes to go from a squeaky first note to a confident performer.

I teach beginners and intermediate players in 5th through 9th grade. Whether your child is just picking up their school instrument for the first time or looking to level up before All-District auditions, I'll meet them exactly where they are.

Lessons are available at your home, my home in Williamsburg, a local library, or online — whatever works best for your family.
