Reviews of professor Nathan Siler

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
One of the most interesting and enjoyable people to be around. Genuinely cares about all of his students and tries to personalize his teaching methods and goals for each student. Effort must be given in order to work well with him. It is important to try your hardest so that he can continue to help you improve and so you can see your own progress.

I love being in Doc's trombone studio!

He's tough, but what do you want? Our trombone choir is great and we have had a lot of opportunities that many other trombone studios never get. I've gotten a lot better at trombone. Dr. Siler is all around pretty awesome.

Very weird acting professor. Doesn't know the fastest route to improvement. Usually you are forced to self-assess your own ability and figure out how to fix any issues in your own playing. Does not offer a goal when practicing but rather tells you to follow a practice routine with no clear focus. Very difficult to improve in this trombone studio.

Dr. Siler is a fantastic teacher. His style is unusual and unique--especially in our School of Music. My lessons have goals and I have seen improvement in my time at EKU. He can be blunt in trombone choir rehearsal. He wants to the studio to improve and tells people clearly that they must be prepared for all aspects of their student life.
