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.
