Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I believe that each lesson should end with a smile, both from the enjoyment of the music and the feeling of progress the student has made. I take a great joy in teaching my students and want to pass that on to each one. Seeing a child discover a new talent or ability is very rewarding to me. I also particularly enjoy teaching a beginning adult who thinks they have no talent or ability... until they're playing a piece of music they've always loved and can't believe it's happening.

I have worked with 4 piano teachers so far and Nick is my favorite. I started working with Nick about 6 months ago and have made a lot of progress since. He is an excellent teacher! He structures my lesson very well including scales, fingering exercise, practice pieces, and real music pieces. I like the books and the nice combination of the materials. Nick is very professional and responsible. He tries to squeeze in as much content as possible in every lesson while tailoring it to my preference and progress. I learn new things every week. Nick is also very good at communicating and motivating students while being strict. He points out what I have done right or short every lesson. I am motivated to practice and follow his suggestions after my lessons because I know he will be very happy to see my progress and won't hide his disappointment if I didn't try hard enough. He is also very reliable and I know he will be there whenever I need him. I highly recommend him!

Nick is a great piano teacher! I've been taking lesson for as long as I can remember. However it wasn't untill I started taking lessons with Nick that I learned so much more then just how to get through a piece of music. He has taught me a lot on how to make a piece really sound like music and make it your own. I have also learned so much about music from chords and how they all fit together to information on different musical periods.

As an advanced pianist, I came to Nick for help mastering a difficult classical piece. I was very satisfied with the instruction that I received and also the professional critique and insight into the specific piece that I was playing that I could never have gathered on my own. Nick's knowledge of the details and subtleties of the music made the lesson very worthwhile. I would recommend this teacher not just to beginners, but also to anyone who is at advanced levels of piano.

I was never excited about playing in front of people, but Nick's ability to make me feel extremely comfortable was noticeable from the get go. His knowledge of music theory is incredible and even though I'm not taking lessons from him maybe I can start again in the future!! Great teacher with a lot to share!!

Nick has been able to impart his knowledge and passion of music in such a kind and gentle way that he brings out the best in his students. Even those who don't like to practice.
