Reserve your spot in the November CCS Cohort!
The Composition Clarity COHORT is a 6-week community experience to help you go from paralyzed to productive.
30+ members are having such a great time in our current CCS Cohort, I'm giving everyone another chance to experience it this year!
The average completion rate for self-paced online courses is 10-15%, while cohort or community based courses jump to around 80%!
The CCS is built around prompts (aka. EXERCISES). And any exercise is 100% more effective if you actually do it.
Join the Composition Clarity Cohort to get:
- The accountability of showing up every week
- The support that comes from a community of like-minded musicians
- The ability to learn from how different people approach the same prompts
- The benefit of hearing other people ask questions you haven't even thought of
- The ability to directly interact with me throughout the process
- A chance to create your own compositional "prompts" and try them out with the group
A few details:
- You'll get immediate access to the CCS videos and exercises
- This Cohort will begin once enrollment has fully closed on November 12, 2025. This cohort will be 30 days in length
- Once we begin, you'll watch the pre-recorded lesson/examples, then have a few days to complete and upload your assignments
- Every week we'll have a live group Q&A call with me via Zoom (Wednesdays at 11:00 AM EST)
- You'll maintain access to the community through the end of this calendar year at no additional charge, and will have access to the core CCS program for life
- I'm capping enrollment for this one, so reserve your spot today.

The average cost for one year of tuition at a music school like Berklee is $52,000+
And every year, composition students leave those schools with lots of knowledge and still no idea how to apply it in a creative process.
I got lucky. My teacher, Luigi Zaninelli (pictured to the right with a much younger me), wasn't just a teacher - he was DOING it. He was a composer who had studied with some of the greats (Gian Carlo Menotti, Samuel Barber, and Rosario Scalero).
Now you can learn what he taught me, combined with my own experience since for less than 1/100th of that cost and in 1/20th of the time.
"From my first time working with Nathan, the rapport was instant. I really appreciate how genuine he is, and how completely honest his opinions are when it comes to working on music. We've collaborated on several projects, and he does not stop until the job is done. I've learned a great deal working with him, and would recommend him to anyone."
- BP Moore, recording artist/composer
"When I finished my vocal Album, and needed a producer and second set of ears I could trust, my first thought was Nathan, because of his immense experience in both classical and ambient directions.
Nathan brought a deeper sound quality, more emphasis and light or darkness to the character of the music that was already there. He gave it a new dimension and made the pieces have a third dimension; he enabled each piece to achieve its best quality."
- Maire Awadis, pianist, recording artist, composer
