Testimonials

Nate has been a great drum teacher to my son Luke. His skill, passion, and encouragement all shine through and keep Luke engaged and eager to reach the next level. It’s been great to watch Luke’s confidence and skills grow under Nate’s coaching. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking to help their son or daughter grow and get better.

Our son Josh started percussion lessons with Nate while in the fifth grade. Nate's encouraging nature, organized teaching method, and impressive skills as a percussionist inspired Josh to work hard and got him excited about playing drums. He soon discovered other percussion instruments through Nate and has enjoyed expanding his own skill set. After over 3 years with Nate, we are thrilled with Josh's progress and continual improvement. Nate not only teaches the skills, but also proper technique and behavior, inspiring students to take their craft seriously, as he does. We can easily recommend Hunt Percussion to anyone interested in learning percussion instruments.
