“After retiring, I decided to learn to play a new instrument, so I began inquiring about a mandolin teacher. A friend of a friend of a friend . . . told me the good things he heard about MAFM and Nate. I'm so happy I was pointed in his direction. I highly enjoy my lessons and have progressed much faster than I thought possible. Nate makes learning fun! He's super patient, always encouraging, and always positive. I'm learning tons of new musical skills and credit Nate's teaching with my continued progress.” - Joy N. (mandolin student)

“Nate Roberts is a great private teacher. As a life long music teacher and someone taking lessons from him in retirement I can say his depth of knowledge is very deep. He can teach beginners through professional players equally well. I have been taking lessons for over a year and have made great progress. His process is very clear and he makes lessons really fun. Nate Roberts is truly a master teacher.” - Bob P. (mandolin student)

“Nate’s flexibility, background in improvisational and more traditional music learning methods are a perfect fusion for becoming a more whole-brained musician. MAFM offers music classes, regular jam sessions for students of all levels, concerts-exposure/interaction with professionals, and even offers music workshops for song-writing and other topics. His musical talent, creativity, drive, and ability to work with a wide variety of people will continue to grow this venue. Nate is fostering a diverse musical community that is very much needed. I am excited to be a part of it!” - Jane V. (mandolin student)
