Nate Loper
Nate is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist/composer with 20+ years playing experience and 9+ years teaching experience in both the private and public school sectors. I teach piano, guitar, bass, violin, viola, cello, music theory, song writing, basic production, and many others. I put emphasis on both classical knowledge and practical application in my lessons.
Ken Wong
I began learning classical piano when I was 4 years old. Throughout my adolescence, I competed in many different competitions and won several scholarship awards. In middle school, I picked up the guitar and viola, later participating in my high school orchestra. My accumulated musical skills have led me to my current pursuits: music production and audio engineering.
