Music Royale Student Spotlight: Nathan L.

June 27, 2025

We’re thrilled to shine a light on one of our graduating seniors in this edition of our Student Spotlight Series. This musician has grown with us from the very beginning. Meet Nathan, a dedicated and talented saxophonist and pianist who has been a part of the Music Royale family for over six years.

🎓 Nathan is a 2025 graduate of Olentangy Liberty High School and is headed to Case Western Reserve University this fall, where he plans to major in Biochemistry on the pre-med track. But his journey with music won’t stop there! He’s taking his saxophone with him and is already looking ahead to joining jazz and classical ensembles on campus.

🎷🎹 In his own words, Nathan shares how music has shaped his life and how it gave him a reason to keep practicing, helped him stay ahead in school band, and connected him with the legacy of his great-grandfather and great-uncle, both jazz saxophonists.

We are so proud of Nathan, not just for his musical accomplishments like earning a “one” on his solo at Ensemble, but for his passion, commitment, and humility. His words are an inspiration to students of all ages, and we encourage you to watch the full video to hear Nathan’s story in his own voice.

He reflects on:

• The challenge of learning piano as a complete beginner
  
  
• The coordination needed to master saxophone technique
  
  
• The value of having multiple teachers and learning different styles
  
  
• His favorite recital moment performing Schumann’s Fantasy Piece
  
  
• And his personal advice for young or struggling musicians

It all starts with a single lesson.
