Nic is an excellent communicator. He is very positive and encouraging. And he is a highly talented musician! I'm lucky to have found him for piano lessons for my 16 years old son!

We were so fortunate to find this amazing guitar coach for our 17-year-old son. With limited time before he left to play hockey out of state, the coach worked wonders—teaching him how to play guitar quickly and confidently. Our son is now able to listen to and play a ton of songs, which has been so fun and rewarding to watch. The coach was incredibly flexible, always willing to work with our schedule, and made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and talented, but he's also one of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. He didn’t just teach our son—he truly became part of our family. We can’t recommend him highly enough!
