awesome - challenging yet perfect for my sons ability level - he learned so much and had fun. Nicole was encouraging and still appropriately corrected. Great techniques. Picking a song of his interest was great. Nicole knows what she is doing. Sings and plays the piano really well too! I was impressed.

Nicole O. is a great teacher! I am a mature woman and would recommend her to anyone. I have learned a lot and enjoyed every note of it. She fosters love of music as well has a talent for making it blossom in others. She's one of the best instructors I've met.

It is not easy to find such a talented and accomplish performer that also has an incredible talent, patience and desire for teaching especially young kids. We are very glad we found Nicole and very excited having our granddaughter is learning from one of the best.

We have had a wonderful experience with Nicole as my daughters guitar and voice teacher. She is very enthusiastic about her work and Ava has learned a lot from her. She brings her passion for music through to her students. Ava looks forward to her lesson every week. :)

My 6 year old has been taking lessons with Nicole for 5 weeks and she looks forward to it every week! Nicole is so positive, patient, and encouraging - exactly what I was looking for in a first teacher. We leave every lesson having learned something new and my daughter is so proud to show it off and practice when we get home. I highly recommend her!

My 6 year old daughter took piano lessons for the first time for about a year with Ms. Nicole. She is positive, energetic and did a great job! My daughter could be rather demanding and she handled it well and shifted gears to make it a positive experience. We are sad to leave these lessons and hope to come back to Ms. Nicole in the future. We are cancelling for personal reasons not related to Ms. Nicole and her teaching. I highly recommend her!

My 8 year old daughter started taking piano lessons from Nicole a few months ago. Nicole is such a caring and inspiring teacher. My daughter loves to go to piano lessons and adores Nicole. It's so great to see how much she loves taking piano lessons and how much she has learned in such a short time!

Nicole is a GREAT instructor. She is very patient and kind. My 5 year old daughter always looks forward to her violin lessons with Nicole because she makes it fun and exciting for her. My daughter is also now doing piano lessons with her and I am VERY pleased with how she's coming along. I highly recommend Nicole especially if you have children who are very shy and nervous.

Nicole is extremely upbeat, joyous and fabulously encouraging

I love Nicole's joyful presence and very encouraging manner. She's talented and works with me to ensure that I get over my insecurities as a new player and enjoy the experience. Also love that she's very attuned to the physical toll that playing and performing takes and takes the time to explain the need for and the how to of exercises that will help me avoid injury or pain and to make my playing more toneful. I am very happy that I got to be one of her students. Oh, and she's been very good at accommodating my schedule and working with me when medical or travel needs interfere with my regular lessons.

Passionate about music

Nicole is a very talented individual who loves what she does. She has a great personality and patience with students of various skill levels. Nicole communicates passion in her music and involves in these musical endeavors. She's the best teacher for anyone to take lessons with, as she is very gracious.

Glad we choose Nicole.

I and my daughter 9 yrs old are glad that we choose Nicole for her violin class. My daughter having wonderful experience with Nicole. Nicole is flexible and responsive of any request. I would continue and any future lessons that my daughter would like to take.

My daughter cant wait for thursdays!

My 5 year old daughter always marks her calendar for thursdays because its her favorite day... she has piano lessons with Ms.Nicole. She enjoys her time with Ms. Nicole and feels comfortable and at ease when shes learning. We are very happy with Nicole!

If You Want to Make Progress and Really Enjoy Doing It

Nicole is a great teacher! She's kind, relaxed, and thorough. Her comments and assignments have been just what I needed to make progress and start reaching my goals. I can see and hear real improvement in my piano playing, my knowledge, and my note reading. Believe all of Nicole's great feedback " I'm sure glad I did!

Fantastic Teacher and Communicator

Nicole has very strong knowledge of musical theory and application, but more importantly she knows how to communicate this knowledge.I have been around many teachers and coaches and have been a coach myself. So I have seen everything from below average to outstanding. Nicole is in the 99+ percentile! She is a natural communicator to all levels. She provides continuous feedback in positive ways to help the student improve.I have been taking both of my daughters (14 and 8 years old) as well as myself to guitar lessons. Nicole is able to convey messages through various mediums (touch, feel, auditory, visualization, etc.) to all age levels making the learning experience top notch.

Nicole is fun, patient and challenging all in one!

Nicole does a wonderful job of making my kids' lessons challenging yet fun. She is patient with them as they learn and they love playing so much now, they will often play their instruments on their own.

Excellent Teacher-

Extremely talented and helpful teacher. Is very honest and easy to understand in her way of teaching. Very patient and really takes time to make sure the lesson is personal to help you. She is very flexible and dedicated to her work. I've had other teachers that are not even close to being as informative and considerate. I highly recommend this teacher. :D

Turned my playing around.

I'm an 18 year old multi-instrumentalist and had been teaching myself the violin for two years. I'd developed a lot of poor technique and bad habits. Within three months of lessons with Nicole, all that changed. I've received a solid foundation of technique and, with Nicole's help, I'm already building on it. I look forward to my lesson with her all week. She's knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and above all honest. You feel more like you're embarking on a musical adventure together, rather than the normal student-teacher dynamic. I would highly recommend Nicole as a violin teacher or for any of the subjects she teaches!
