Homework
1-2 hours per week. After each session, we will send the assignments for the week to the parent's email via the Outschool Messaging system. This will usually include a few songs and exercises to practice, along with some specific notes on what to focus on. Learners will progress at different paces based on how often they practice. We typically recommend practicing 3-4 times a week, for 10 minutes a day for kids 8 and under, and 20 minutes a day for kids 9+. Older teens may be willing to invest even more time, but consistency is better than one long practice session once a week!Class Experience

About Mr. Nathan:
My name is Nathan Pruetting and I started attending the University of Utah as of Fall 2024. At the university, I plan on majoring in computer science with a minor in jazz guitar. I am 18 years old and I teach guitar and saxophone.
I have played the guitar for 10 years and saxophone for 7 years. I have been very involved musically since I was a kid and want to teach what I've learned to students who are like me; ambitious and curious about music in general. I have had many experiences performing with small rock groups and big jazz bands, and wish to use my knowledge to help my students be motivated and spark their curiosity in music!Reviews
