Tim K. says, "We met Nick at a American Bach Soloist concert months ago. I overheard him talking about how he teaches piano. I asked him if we could talk in the lobby after the performance. We had a nice talk and I explained to him that my partner is in the early stages of Alzheimers and that he used to play the piano. Nick was very graceful and said he would love to make music with him. I also tossed in the idea and asked Nick could come to our house and give him the lessons there. Nick did not hesitate to say yes. Nick has been so patient and kind and you can tell he really loves what he does. My partner doesn’t remember a lot of things. But he knows that Fridays are his piano lessons. I can’t say enough kind things abut Nick. I think that anyone who would engage him will be a better person for it!" Read more
