I’m a Boston Conservatory-trained performer with 3 advanced degrees in classical music performance. I’ve performed all over the country and in Germany—and was at one point a finalist in an audition for the Milwaukee Symphony. Despite all that, I am especially good with children. I make it my personal responsibility that students both enjoy themselves, and show signs of good progress. Adding to my experience with children, I have 3 years experience teaching children's swim lessons, and I'm also an assistant teacher in Chicago Public High Schools. I teach piano with an emphasis on the ability to read music well, while always learning new and fun music. **serious inquires only** please be considerate of the fact that this app charges the teacher for your inquiry.

Nick has been giving our kids weekly lessons (one on piano, one on drums) for a couple months now. I was impressed at how quickly Nick built rapport and got them playing. Our kids are 5 and 7, and Nick's lessons are very age appropriate in terms of balance of skill building and keeping it light. Our kids look forward to lessons and haven't complained about practicing--which is a huge win!

Details: 6 - 9 years old • No formal training • Yes, the student has a piano • 30 minutes • My home, venue, etc.

Nick is both an exceptional musician and exceptional with kids -- a rare combination. I wanted hands-on, personalized instruction for my child, but also top-notch professional training from an classically trained musician with orchestral experience. My daughter (age 8) started piano lessons with Nick six months and can't wait for her next lesson! He is patient, kind, and helpful. In her words, Nick gives me "easy ways to remember things." I can't believe how quickly she is progressing. In sum, he makes piano lessons a JOY -- no easy task when it comes to kids!

Nick has been such a pleasure! He’s made learning the piano easy and fun! His teaching style is very gentle and kind, really helps with any potential nerves! I’m 29 and wanted to learn a new skill, very happy to have met Nick!
