I have had a love of music from a very early age. At age 5, I started learning how to play piano and by middle school, I started playing the drums. I continued to play music throughout high school and college, and learned to perform percussion for just about every genre of music. All of this led to my Bachelors of Arts in Music Education with an emphasis in Percussion and Jazz Studies. As part of the requirements for this degree, I took many classes exploring all areas of music and teaching and found teaching to be a passion of mine. My musical experience includes teaching drum lessons to individuals and groups, organizing and instructing two drum lines for elementary school age children, being the lead drummer for a local band playing jazz, rock, funk and blues, and being the choir leader and drum player for my church. In the past, I was also the drum major for a local, national award winning drill team.

I feel that my experience has allowed me to gain the ability to teach in...

Born in Rapid City, South Dakota, I started taking piano lessons at the age of 6. Since that time, my love for music has grown with each passing day.

I graduated from The Entertainment Career Connection with a certification in Audio Engineering and Production, where I studied audio mixing, recording, production and mastering. I currently study music education at Arapahoe Community College/Denver Metro.

I am very active in the community volunteering my time as the Event Coordinator for a non-profit orginization called The Denver Creative Movement. In addition, I keep myself busy musically playing in my band L.A.M.A. LIVE (Little Ambition Makes A lot), and working on a number of solo projects.

I continue to follow my life-long passion for music by educating others. I believe that music lessons should be a fun and rewarding experience, and place a high value on learning how to use music in everyday life.

We learn by teaching. That is why I love to teach, because I love to learn. I have made many great connections while teaching music to people and one of the ways to do that is to work together on a common goal. I started teaching music because during my own studies I have discovered many quick learning strategies that make playing music fun. Many of these strategies I had to discover on my own. Now I want to share these ideas with you.

After seeing his first rock concert at age 14, Nick knew music had to be in his future.

Nick has been performing in rock bands from high school and throughout college. He also has 4+ years of experience teaching students ranging from age 3 to 60+, and teaches guitar, vocals, and bass. Nick specializes in styles such as rock, blues, pop, classical, and flamenco.

Teaching has always been a great passion of mine. I love watching my students grow as musicians. I have studied with over 20 world class professors and have lots of knowledge to share.

My philosophy as a teacher is to bring out the unique artist in every student. Everyone learns differently, and everyone offers something very special as a musician. I will help my students by bringing out their strong points and tackling their weaknesses...

I am a classically trained drummer and percussionist who's been performing for 18 years and teaching for over 10. Did you know that many of the best drummers in the world did a wealth of learning before they even sat down before a drumset? Hand technique and rhythm theory fundamentals are crucial to being able to play ANY song later! I can guide you down the path of learning to play music on the drums correctly, efficiently, and most of all musically. Don't go to someone else and be the punchline to a drummer joke!
