About
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 30 weekly 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 ********************************************** (or areas within 10 minutes of that)

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.
