Hello! My name is Dr. Nathan Groot (you can call me Nathan). I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Viola Performance and Pedagogy from Tennessee Tech University, a Master of Music degree from Miami University, and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Georgia.

I draw most of my inspiration in my own work from the people who helped inspire me throughout my education. I have so many opportunities today because very special teachers, tutors, and teaching assistants stepped in and helped me along. I want to pay that forward and keep it going. I also really enjoy teaching and tutoring! I'm excited to hear from you!

I am currently pursuing a doctorate of musical arts in the viola performance at the University or Georgia. I began playing the viola - and later violin - in 2003 and have been teaching privately since 2012. While pursuing my master's degree, I worked as a teaching assistant for four musicology courses and currently am pursuing a musicology cognate in my doctoral program. I also currently work as a teaching assistant and graduate fellow at the University of Georgia.

I have performed with Symphony Orchestras in Tennessee since 2014, performed as a soloist in Bulgaria, Austria, and the U.S., and have recorded in Nashville, TN for television soundtracks and with Athens artist, Kishi Bashi.

I would love to hear from you if you are interested in taking private lessons or tutoring!

great viola teacher!

It’s hard to find a teacher who specializes in viola, and Nathan is excellent in viola teachings! I had a really good first lesson with him

Devon, 2 lessons with Nathan

Very kind and knowledgeable

He is very good at analyzing which techniques I should develop with my small hands and make the playing easier&better! I feel very lucky being able to study with him.

Aika, 4 lessons with Nathan

Knowledgeable and nice teacher

Great teacher! Nathan shows professional techniques and he has very nice personality. He shows techniques in details which is very helpful. We definitely want to continue our lessons in the future.

Leon, 5 lessons with Nathan

Patient!!

Nathan has been so patient with us as we get our instrument in good working order. This has been lesson 2 and he was able to still conduct the lesson with teaching basic notes memorization and other beginner components.
