Introduction
My goal as a piano teacher to students of all levels and ages is to lead the student to a both meaningful and personal relationship to the world of music. My emphasis is on fundamentals, to guide the student in creating successful, long-term habits and make practice and performing an enjoyable experience. To my students looking for a casual experience and those looking for a career in piano I instill an appreciation and understanding for the aesthetics of the great pianists of the last century. I currently teach piano at New York University as adjunct faculty. My former university teaching includes the University of Miami where I was a graduate teaching assistant. Besides university teaching, I've enjoyed having private studios in Miami, Florida, Portland, Oregon and now New York City where I've taught all ages and skill levels. I hold both a bachelors and masters degree in piano performance as well as a certificate in piano performance and pedagogy from NYU. I currently teach privately with students ranging from age 4 through 78. I am available to do both online lessons and in person lessons.

Nick is fantastic! I always feel so inspired leaving class every week, in large part due to the quality of the lessons Nick provides. I’ve only been working with Nick for a few months and have improved not just my technique but my overall knowledge on music theory, dynamics, and music history. Nick has me working on classical pieces as well as jazz (and some improv too!!), per my request. And he always sends over notes after each lesson to help guide my practice. I can’t recommend him enough!!!

Details: 26 - 44 years old • Yes, the student can read music • No formal training; some self-taught experience • Classical • Yes, the student has a piano • 60 minutes • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc. • Remotely (phone or internet)

Nick is one of the best! I studied piano for 12 year when I was younger and loved. As it always does, life got in the way and I took a brief hiatus from lesson for almost 20 years. I was eager to pick back up but nervous as I had been out of practice. I wanted a teacher that was well studied, still performed and kind but still knew when to push me. Nick met all those requirements and more! I felt an instant connection. He's able to breakdown music theory concepts into easy digestible bites, has a wealth of knowledge in a variety of genres and can make even the most apprehensive students fall in love with piano! He's extremely responsive and always willing to text, email or send a quick video if you have a question about your practice. If you want the best, look no further than Nick!

Details: 26 - 44 years old • Yes, the student can read music • 4+ yrs of formal training • What the teacher recommends • No, the student does not have either • 45 minutes • At the pro’s location

As a professional educator I can say with some authority that Nick is one of the best teachers I have had. He brings great energy to every session and is able to tailor the lessons to my specific needs. In about 6 months I have learned so much and can now play a descent jazz arrangement of All of Me that has impressed my wife and friends.

Details: 45 - 64 years old • Yes, the student can read music • 0 - 2 yrs of formal training • Jazz • Yes, the student has a keyboard • 60 minutes • At the pro’s location
