You Can Play Well

If you're like most people who contact me about lessons, you feel like you've tried everything possible to play better. But, you're not getting better fast enough. You've bought all the books, watched all the YouTube videos, and maybe even taken some lessons, but you haven't seen real results.


You got into music to have fun, but it's just...not. Or at least not as fun as it should be.


That's where I come in. I'm Nate Lee, and I turn beginners into jammers and jammers into professionals. If you want to play the fiddle or mandolin better and have more fun, I can help you!

Learning an instrument is hard, right? At least, that's what people keep saying. But what if it doesn't have to be? Spoiler: it doesn't.
