About Me
My name is Nick. I have been reading, writing, recording and performing music for over 10 years. I have extensive knowledge about music theory as it applies to keyboard and percussion instruments. With multiple of years of experience touring in and out of the country, recording and composing, as an instructor I am able to give my students the opportunity to advance in both understanding theory in music and performing music. I enjoy working with students of all sorts! Student development is my favorite part of teaching lessons. Wether you are playing the most simple pattern on the snare drum and want to expand to learning John Bohnam on drumset or want to play every scale in the book on piano I am your guy!

Nick has the knowledge, patience, and genuine caring to bring out the best in students. He worked with our son from 6 to 7.5, and helped him progress far and, more importantly, to love the music. Thanks, Nick!

We have really appreciated Nick and his style of teaching. He has been working with our 8 year old daughter and has a gift he loves to share. She is excited to practice and looks forward to the next lesson with Nick. He has been very attentive to her needs.

Great experience with a skilled and personable instructor!
My son Andrew loved his lessons with you—learned a lot in a very short time and appreciated the personal rapport you quickly established with him. Great musician and instructor!

Engaging Teacher & Wonderful Musician
Nick was very kind, patient and encouraging w/my 9 year old boy. Nick gave him tools to learn the basics while making it seem less like a "lesson" and more like fun. Nick demonstrated that the basics are the cornerstone of modern songs so it seemed cool, fresh and attainable. My son admired Nick's teaching, musical ability and overall attitude. Great experience!
