Hi, I'm Nick

I am a guitarist and pianist is San Diego with 15+ years of performing experience. I studied music at SDSU and have been teaching private music lessons full-time for the past 7 years. In that time, I have strived to create a memorable music experience for my students that is both fun and rewarding. In my free time I love hiking and hanging out with my old golden retriever, Buddy.

Reviews

Check out some of the nice reviews my gracious students have written :)

"Nick is a phenomenal music teacher! He has been providing lessons to our family for over four years in both guitar and piano. He has a wonderful teaching style and has really connected with both of our children, ages 13 and 16, as a teacher and mentor. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking musical instruction!"
