Nathan began teaching life as a High School English/Drama teacher (in which time he wrote his first musical, “Her Majesty, the Corgi?”), but since switching roles to music has found his true calling! Recently Nathan has become known for his themed school songs (i.e. Book Week, Olympics, ANZAC) and his whole-school ukulele pedagogy, using existing and original pieces. He has also composed for many solo instrumentalists and ensembles – his ‘favourites’ including String Orchestra, Brass Band, and Concert Band – and is published by Brolga Music.
