Introduction
Hello! I'm Nicolette but everyone calls me Nickie and my students call me Ms. Nickie. I have 20 years of musical experience and started teaching at 15 years old! I provide live entertainment and private tutoring services. My work is heart-felt and unique while being high-quality at the same time.
I love teaching the violin, viola, and beginner piano. I currently have 45 students!
Changing the lives of students and others with music is very fun and fulfilling for me. I also love the work I do as a live musician, especially weddings and gigs! I teach my students to value live performances as well, which is why I provide a recital opportunity for them throughout the year.
**Contract with policy is now available and expected to be signed by both teacher, parent, and student.**
In person lessons are held in my area at the Town Center location in Jacksonville, Fl 32246 (or areas within 10 minutes of that)
In person lessons are currently $45 per hour.
Discount available of buying 8 lessons and get 20% off.
Lessons are non-refundable.
This includes lessons paid in advance of 2 months!
It takes about 8 lessons to see if the student will enjoy and adjust to my classes, especially if they are beginners. Therefore there are not really any trial lessons. Instead I suggest just taking a few lessons.
Paypal is my preferred method of payment, or CashApp

Do you want to learn the violin online?
I teach the violin in my city, but I also teach the violin online via Skype, Zoom, Facebook, or Google Hangouts!
I am here to answer ANY questions on the violin you may have and I will do my best to answer them. Please send any questions you have for me through my website here.
Make today the day to learn something new!
Thank you for your interest and business!
-Ms. Nickie

I came to Nickie not having a clue about the piano or the keyboard. She was able to teach me so much and I’m truly grateful. She taught me how to read music sheets, how to play, how to sing the notes and so much more about music theory. She’s an incredible source of music inspiration and I would definitely recommend!
Details: 26 - 44 years old • No, the student cannot read music • No formal training • Classical • No, the student does not have either • 45 minutes • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc. • Remotely (phone or internet)

I received an email from Nicolette within 10-15 minutes after submitted my info on here. We exchanged a couple of emails and phone numbers. The next day we spoke on the phone for approximately 25 minutes. Scheduled lessons starting on February 10. She has been extremely accommodating and helpful. She made me feel very comfortable with going forward with private lessons with her upbeat personality & friendliness. Im looking forward to meeting her & learning from her.
Details: No formal training • No, the student cannot read music • 45 - 64 years old • Fiddling • Country • Folk • Classical • Yes, the student has a violin • Once a week • 45 minutes • Saturday • Morning (9am - noon) • Early afternoon (noon - 3pm) • On an ongoing basis • Willing to work around teacher's schedule • Conducting initial research • I travel to the violin teacher
