Welcome Friends—

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I am a K-5 General Music and Choir Teacher serving the communities of North Chicago and Great Lakes, IL. Over the past nine years, I have met many wonderful principals, teachers, parents, and students as a music teacher in Chicago area. I also own Rooberry LLC and 88 Stories LLC, two companies that aim to use technology to help schools and families respectively.

Beyond my work, however, my interests are diverse—ranging from solving problems as a bioinformatics programmer, reading master works from science fiction works, composing music for young voices, exploring cuising by "mastering" traditional italian cooking, and traveling with friends and family across the United States, Europe, and Asia.

This year, I will be celebrating my 24th year of piano study, 20th year of trumpet playing, and my 4th year of playing guitar. Each is so different, and yet, my combined knowledge of the three has made me a happier person and a better musician and teacher.

Look around and ask questions.

Nathan
