Review About Me
My name is Nicholas! I'm a life-long student of music, but I didn't start playing an instrument until I was 14! I immediately set to it and within 1 year I was the best guitarist in school, and was already recording, playing shows, and filling in on other instruments in bands. I've long since gone on to write, record, produce, and tour with other musicians and bands, not only playing guitar my first instrument but also bass, drums and keyboards. Bonus for you haha, I can teach any style of music, although my personal favorites are considered "classical" or "jazz," which have influenced my style only as much as my love for shred and noisSignuplove music because that's really all it is; organized noise! Let's awaken your inner Maestro and set to honing your craft! Sign up now to schedule a meeting!

What to expect in my Record Engineer Produce
Beginner - Intermediate
First Thought, Best Thought! Students should come prepared to workshop; song deconstruction and analysis is primary.
What to expect in my Song Writing Lessons
Beginner - Intermediate
Students can expect to develop a working knowledge of all the mise-en-place of the modern recording studio and how to properly use the studio as its own instrument--that of capturing the sound. Student should come prepared with a question of how to produce a desired effect, sound, or experience.
What to expect in my Drum Lessons
Beginner - Intermediate
Emphasis on rhythmic fundamentals and rudiments. Students can expect to take a song they have either worked towards or are desiring to learn, and apply a new technique to its performance, as well as strengthen the understanding of the tropes of the song and/or genre.
What to expect in my Bass Guitar Lessons
Beginner - Intermediate
Students can expect to take a song they have either worked towards or are desiring to learn, and apply a new technique to its performance, as well as strengthen the understanding of the tropes of the song and/or genre. Each lesson will ideally be linked into music theory where applicable.

Review:
Not dependable or Responsive
My son had a good first lesson with Nicholas. Myself and Nicholas made arrangements to continue with more lessons. 30 minutes before the next lesson was supposed to start Nicholas cancelled due to car issues. When I reached out to him to schedule the next lesson he has refused to answer or acknowledge my texts. Not sure what the issue is but part of customer service and being a teacher is interacting with your customers. Justin Williams wrote on Tue, 01 Oct 2019
Outstanding Musical Instructor!
Nicholas has been working with our daughter for nearly a year, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. Her growth in both snare and piano has been a direct reflection of Nicholas’ skill, dedication, and deep knowledge of his craft. As a musician myself, I’ve hired a few instructors over the years for my kids—but none have come close to the level of satisfaction we've had with Nicholas. He’s not only a fantastic teacher but also incredibly flexible and professional, communicating lesson needs and adjustments clearly through email, just as we asked. We truly feel fortunate to have found him. The confidence and musical growth our daughter has gained under his guidance have been a joy to witness. Highly recommended! wrote on Sun, 11 May 2025
