Introduction
*Updated After School Availability Tuesdays - after 5:15 Chicago Wednesday between 4:15 and 8 pm Chicago Thursday - anytime Chicago or Evanston Friday- 3-5 pm Saturday - after 11:30 am Mon-Thursday available before 3 pm. ABOUT ME I pride myself on the results of my 27 Chicagoland students, and the smiles on everyone’s faces! I’m a Boston Conservatory-trained percussionist 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. I am also a college-trained intermediate pianist, with extensive knowledge of music theory and sight-reading 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 and percussion 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.

Very impressed by both the professionalism and musical knowledge that Mr. White provides. My kids enjoy their lessons and have shown tremendous growth since starting. The lessons are fun and engaging. As a parent I feel confident and comfortable with having my children taught by Mr. White. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for either Drum or Piano lessons.

Nick has been great with our boys teaching both drums and piano. They’ve learned a ton and really look forward to every lesson. Can’t speak highly enough of the service Nick provides.

Nick has been a fantastic piano tutor for my son. He is patient, knowledgeable, and does a great job adapting lessons to my son’s skill level. His teaching style keeps my son engaged while helping him build a solid foundation in both technique and music theory. Nick is also very encouraging, which has made learning enjoyable. My son has made steady progress and always looks forward to his lessons. I would definitely recommend Nick to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive piano teacher.

Nick is a fantastic teacher! He brings energy, discipline and immense knowledge to the piano lessons for my son. He is a pleasure to work with him. He know how to craft the lesson so that the time flies. My son is eager to have his lesson with ‘Mr. Nick’ and enjoys the time. We appreciate everything Nick has done to continue to foster a love for music in my son.
