    About Nicole M.

    I love to teach! I have made it my goal for over 20 years to share my passion for music as well as my knowledge with my students. I teach many different genres of music and want my students to enjoy their music while they are learning and growing as musicians. I teach all levels of voice and beginning/intermediate piano. I am also a licensed Paraprofessional and have 7 years of experience working with Individuals with Developmental Disabilities. My full-time work is in Vocational Education and counseling for young adults with developmental disabilities. I believe music (like everything else) should be accessible to ALL!
