Teacher Bio:
I began playing flamenco guitar in 1993. After learning the rhythms, techniques, song forms, and accompaniment for singing and dancing, I became interested in the earlier roots of Andalusian music, such as Arabic-Andalusian music. This led to study of the oud, the Arabic, 11 string, fretless lute at a music school in Tetouan, Morocco. After returning to the States, I received my BA in ethnomusicology from The University of Washington. At that time I began performing professionally in flamenco groups in Seattle, Vancouver, BC and Portland.
Besides teaching, I perform most nights of the week around town either in guitar duos, my own trio, or with Shabava, a Persian/Arabic/Indian trio. Having had excellent teachers when I was learning to play, I realized the importance of an open teacher who is able to structure lessons around an individual student’s taste, pushing them forward, while keeping it fun and exciting. Learning an instrument, even if it is from another culture or tradition does not have to be intimidating. I believe the best motivation comes from the students themselves after the excitement of seeing their own quick progress, and that is the priority in my approach to teaching.
Lessons are offered on oud or flamenco guitar. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

Review of Nat Hulskamp, January 17, 2009
I have been taking Oud lessons from Nat Hulskamp for over 1 year. Nat is very passionate about music and a great teacher because of it. He is also incredibly supportive, kind and patient. He creates a safe learning environment, where he encourages you to learn and grow.
Nat is very flexible - he is able to teach you in the way you find most helpful to learn. He is also a dedicated teacher, willing to go the extra mile to research unusual songs of interest. Nat is very knowledgeable about many types of music and is excellent at teaching Music Theory as well.
I really enjoy my classes with Nat and look forward to them every week! I have learned an incredible amount about the Oud - and about music from all over the world - in the year I have been studying with Nat.
I highly recommend Nat as a teacher!
Cheers,
