What Students Say

I took the Harmony & Acoustics workshop with Nathan Rosenberg. I was literally on the edge of my seat waiting for the information to hit my ears. Nathan teaches with an earnest tone and walks with humility in sharing his knowledge and passion for music. It’s insane how my mind was blown. Thank you again.

—Sera


great instructor!

—Sunita


Nathan is one of the great few teachers that care. As a graduate of a prestigious music school, I was whisked through a massive amount of knowledge, with many teachers. None of them stood up to parr as Nathan does, simply due to the quality and dedication he takes into account when explaining even the simplest of concepts. Amazing.

—Maxwell


This was an awesome music theory fundamentals class. Nathan was a very thoughtful, thorough teacher who offered up time and energy outside of class to help his students in a myriad of ways from answering questions to providing feedback on
