Discover your musical potential with expert piano instruction harmonizing creative methods for a dynamic and evolving educational journey

Hello! My name is Nicole, and I’m a passionate piano instructor with over ten years of teaching experience. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Piano Performance and have dedicated my career to helping students of all ages discover the joy and discipline of music. I specialize in teaching beginning to intermediate pianists, focusing on strong technique, music theory understanding, and expressive playing. My lessons are designed to build confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love for music in every student. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of organizing numerous student recitals and watching my students shine on stage. I have also won several piano competitions and have coached many of my students to achieve similar success. Above all, I love working with children and sharing in their excitement as they reach new milestones. Whether a student dreams of performing on stage or simply wants to enjoy playing for fun, my goal is to create a supportive, inspiring environment where they can thrive.

My teaching approach is centered on making music both relatable and understandable for every student. I believe that learning the piano should be a balance of solid technique, creative exploration, and personal connection to the music. I use a combination of hands-on activities, ear training, theory games, and visual aids to help students truly understand what they are playing, not just memorize notes. Each lesson is tailored to the student’s age, interests, and learning style—whether that means connecting rhythm to favorite songs, exploring how music tells a story, or relating theory concepts to real-world sounds. I emphasize consistent, mindful practice and clear musical goals, helping students see progress and stay motivated. Above all, I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel confident expressing themselves through music and develop a lifelong appreciation for the art of piano playing.
