Nicole C. TakeLessons Instructor Piano, Singing, Music Theory, Sight-reading. NW 169 TER, Opa Locka, FL

I have had the love and passion for music for over 15 years. I am a piano graduate and an international winner who was given a diploma from American College of Musicians and I love to sing and write my own songs. I performed in competitions, winning 1st and 2nd places, performed in piano recitals while receiving honorable mentions, weddings, sporting events, churches, participated in school shows and contests winning 1st and 2nd places, as well, and attended many auditions such as American Idol, which I passed through 3 rounds, and Making the Band. During my school years, I was awarded "Most Talented Superlative," "Singer of the Year," "Best Soprano," "Best Musician," "Most Outstanding Student," and many more. I was also a Silver Knight Nominee in Music. As a performer of the arts, piano playing and singing have mostly been my specialties since I was a child, and teaching has always come natural to me. So, I finally put them together to become a passionate piano and voice instructor.

Many people would consider me as a kid-at-heart, fun-loving, caring, energetic, patient, generous, funny, and friendly. Teaching music, or anything else, is such a beautiful feeling and a wonderful experience! Just simply hearing one of your students say that they love what they are learning and enjoy having you as an instructor is such an honor and accomplishment. It helps me know that I am doing a great job at what I do and that I'm bringing happiness and joy into someone's life.

Students can expect learning a whole lot, while also having lots of fun during my lessons. Although I don't consider myself strict, I still expect all my students to have passion, patience, and dedication for what I teach them. If you're not enjoying it, then why waste your time? If you're going to be my student, you must be serious about the subject you are being taught, and, most of all, you need to have patience! I am a piano graduate with 13 years of experience, so if I can do it, you can, too! Music is a beautiful art, and it takes hardwork and dedication to learn whatever it is you want to do.
